Homeschooling is not for everyone and certainly not for the faint of heart. You may have one student in your home classroom or several, one learning style or more; but once you have an understanding of how your children think and learn, you can adapt or adopt teaching techniques that will make it work for everyone.
Join me as I describe what it REALLY means to be a right-brain, visual thinker and how that affects kids in school.
The Lego Movie is an entertaining, highly creative commentary on the struggle between the Left and Right side of us – complete with an evil villain who wants order at any cost and a wild and crazy group of right brain creative types!

Chances are, your kids had more than enough stuff before the holidays – and now, after the holidays, they have way more than enough. Now it’s time to put things in order.
Do you have a child that has a lot of test anxiety? Could you use a little help improving your child’s handwriting? Have you ever wondered what goes on in your brain when you are experiencing art or music? Are you looking for a way to give your visual thinker a creative outlet?
Music, songs and a basic rhythm can be something we take for granted… but what actually happens to us when we hear a piece of music? While each side experiences it differently, art would not be that same if you only experienced it from one side of the brain. So what’s your brain doing on music?
It’s mid December and kids have been in school for about 16 weeks. While tidying up Brayden’s papers and being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of worksheets kids do in first grade; I noticed his handwriting. While there were some bright spots, overall it was sloppy and inconsistent – both letters and numbers – so it was decided his handwriting needed some extra attention at home. So what are we going to do? I’m creating the first EVER…. Brownie Bear Handwriting Challenge!
Our children are being asked to put aside their creative thinking in order to fit inside a box.
The right side of your brain is in a panic. It broke into a cold sweat just thinking about taking a test. The right side hates multiple choice, short answer, true false questions and essays. It’s completely contrary to the way the right side of the brain works.
