Right Brain Education
My son is one year old. There is lot of buzz around Right brain education until age 3. I would like to know anyone who can enlighten me in this education spectrum on the resources and tools for it. In particular how to teach my toddler any curriculum that would fit him best for the futuristic education

Hello, and welcome!
My understanding of right brain education is the understanding that children need to play. Honestly, I’d be suspect of any company who says they have curriculum for an eager parent such as yourself to purchase.
At one year old, the best thing I think you can do for your son is to scaffold his experiences interacting with you and the world to instill him him that that you are a safe place, and he can rely on you for support.
Give him safe things to play with like shaving foam, paper towel tubes, etc. and model for him and be sure to use your words. Show him that you can stand up and stack them, then knock them down. Cause and effect.
Blow bubbles and let him chase them. Build motor skills.
If he’s curious about something, let him explore.
Engage ALL his senses… put on music and dance with him. Then, when the music stops, you stop.
Have him smell different things that are safe…
Also, help him to manage his emotions by doing calming exercises.
To sum up, what the future needs are emotionally intelligent, curious individuals who have grit. How you can nurture these traits is to let him take age-appropriate risks, allow him to fail, and try again. Praise effort, not results.
As you can tell, I LOVE this question! I hope some of this helps.

Hi Jennifer
Thanks for your inputs. I will definitely take note of all the valuable points and incorporate in my interaction with my Son.
Coming back to Right Brain education, it is a targeted approach in putting right side of the brain to good use in the early years when it is at its max performance. In US, Glenn Doman has pioneered this method, Tweedle wink is also another right brain educator in US. These right brain schools has been propogated in Asia by Shichida and Heguru( both from Japan). Parents need to present with children in the whole teaching process. Youtube video of how it is done at a heguru facility in singapore is attached for your reference.

Also I have attached a Right brain education manual. Definitely this method has been a buzz in this part of the world. If there are curriculum developers or educational technologist in this forum who can create curriculum understanding from the first principles of right brain and spread across it will be great for people under 5 years of age.
