Dear Parents,

Have anyone heard of Shichida Method. Thought of signing my 4 years old boy into this programme. Would like to hear from parents who have older kids and with the programme for at least 2 years.

Thanks

Hi s277400,

Shen-Li has GREAT blog about right brain education where you can find something about SM: http://figur8.net/baby/2010/05/04/scouting-out-shichida/
There was thread about SM on the forum too.

Maybe you´ll find interesting:

Mishutecka - :blush: Thank you!

s277400 - As far as I understand, with right brain education across the board (not just Shichida) 5 years old is not too late. In Japan, some of the children start as late as primary school and are still able to see results of right brain education. The focus of activities are different compared to say a toddler or preschooler, but the results can still be quite promising.

If you want an idea of what sort of activities they do in class, I have the Shichida home practice guide here:

If you do intend to send your child to Shichida, you will need to practice these activities at home with your child.
