Getting Startedwith Right Brain Education

Welcome to Wink!After TweedleWink, we shift from a general program of exposure to math, languages, music, art and science to one which is designed to keep the right brain active... to a learning program called Wink!

Once your child’s left brain abilities begin to emerge, it is important to play games to keep the intuitive, absorbent right brain open. Wink activities balance brain development by keeping the right brain continually involved with left brain thinking. A perfect harmony of creativity and logic!

In this Getting Started information booklet, we’ll teach you how you can keep your child’s right brain pathways open and active.

Here’s 4 Steps to help you get started right away!

1 Read Up!What is Wink?Wink is based upon Drs. Ornstein and Sperry’s Nobel-prize-winning split-brain research and subsequent theories and accelerated learning techniques.

Wink uses a heart-based philosophy to teach just about everything to children of all ages, but especially early childhood when the learning window is wide open.

What is Right Brain Education?There are two sides of your brain: a right side, and a left. They are connected by a “bridge” — a band of nervefibers called the corpus callosum. Each side hasa distinct personality.

The right side is creative and emotional. The left side is logical and practical. The corpus callosum “bridge” allows these hemispheres to work together harmoniously to do just about anything we set our minds to.

2 Create your space.Find a relaxing, cozy space—for you and your child.

Creating your own private classroom is a unique experience. By establishing a place of comfort for learning, you become intimately acquainted with your child’s needs.

The cheerier, more comforting it is, the easier it will be to really relax and enjoy your time together. The more love you put into your space, the more excited you will feel to have a lesson together.

A beautiful, friendly-feeling learning space can be created in 4 steps.When following these steps, it is important to pay attention to the details. Right-brain children tend to be highly-sensitive and react (positively and negatively) to many nuances that adults may not think much about.

Pay attention to the “feel” of the...

• Space • Furniture• Climate • Wall decor• Color • Lighting• Fresh Air • Music• Plants • Scent• Lesson Trays • Water• Temperature • Thoughts/Feelings

3 Gather materials.“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”

—Albert Einstein

Wink materials are designed to do just that! Each step has a different and unique purpose. Together, they stimulate inspired flashes of right-brain inspiration and link your child’s creative genius to the practical left brain.

Training lessons to help you build your imagery recall and remember more details in everything you see.
