“I feel I’m getting to know the real him.”
J is home educated. He was 9 years old when he joined a group for BrainChild sessions. Mum wrote…
Here’s a list of the main changes we’ve noticed:
He always walked into things and hurt himself. He was always falling over. – It doesn’t happen now.
Concentration has improved.
Co-ordination has improved.
Improved creativity.
More feedback on his learning. He was a very private learner. Now he is opening up about what he is learning and talking about it.
Wants to make things. He always had everything available but no interest…he would swing a hammer aimlessly. Now he organizes himself to use the tools appropriately. He made a bivvi shelter and slept in it.
Has become more purposeful.
He wrote an A 4 page story which was unheard of! Great resistance to writing before. Now he says he would like to write a book one day.
An avid reader – now he gives feedback from what he has read. He pointed out all the Swallows and Amazons haunts when visiting Coniston.
Now has meaningful and appropriate output and I can discuss things with him. Before, this was impossible.
I feel I’m getting to know the real him. I didn’t know what made him tick. Now he’s coming out.
