This experience made me suffer a lot, which led me to spend eighteen years developing a set of concentration training for children with learning difficulties. courses, hoping that many children with poor grades can find a happy campus life. The posterior occipital lobe of the human brain is responsible for the person's observation and reception abilities, while the left posterior occipital lobe controls the person's text observation ability, while speaking and writing are related to the connection between the left temporal lobe and the left prefrontal lobe. It seems that Sike's text is blurry. The mysterious condition is caused by insufficient development of nerve cells in his left posterior occipital lobe. The lack of development of the left posterior occipital lobe means that the nerve cells in this area have not received enough training. However, this is a condition that can be improved. You only need to continue to stimulate the synaptic growth of the left posterior occipital lobe nerve cells, and it will slowly improve. . But how can we stimulate the nerve cells in the left posterior occipital lobe? One of the most important ways is to read more paper books and text. How to cultivate children's interest in reading? First of all, children must maintain their curiosity about the world, and reading is a way to satisfy this curiosity, then they will be interested in the content of the book. If a child is generally not interested in reading, parents can read with him first. There is a very simple trick, which is to put your child in your arms and read a book with him. This will make it easier for him to like reading, because through physical contact, our brain will increase a large amount of dopamine, and these dopamine will It surrounds nerve cells and stimulates them to accelerate growth. In addition, parents can make their children feel loved. On a psychological level, parents and children have a companion relationship, making them feel that you are facing the big monster of words together. Parents should understand that for children who don’t like reading, reading text is a big and difficult task, like a big monster. Through the above method, you will not be in opposition, but have a relationship of companions. In addition to reading with children, we have also included three games that train eyeballs and observation skills. We hope to train the development of the occipital lobe of the child's brain through games and exercise the brain in the game, because in a pleasant learning environment, Will make the brain's nerve cells grow faster and smarter. So parents and children, don’t give up. You will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties. Come on! If you want to know more and get more training game tools, you can browse the "Focus Training Manual" FB page I created. In addition, I also developed the graphic story of Tomoto252. I hope that the story of the fuming rabbit will allow more parents and teachers to understand the needs of children through their eyes.
