Mindchamps...

Was at a book fair 2 weeks ago and signed up for this talk about Mindchamps (http://www.mindchamps.org/) Been seeing its ads in the papers so curiosity and wanting the best for our kids led us to attend the talk. A 3 hour talk and almost $3000 (paid by instalments) later.. we walked out hoping that it will empower our eldest son in his education when he starts primary sch and attends 7 months at Mindchamps.

Why did we sign up? I think this is effective.. It teaches the kid effective ways of learning. And not only that, they are to learn the champion mindset. Being positive, dreaming castles, aiming high. The power of the subconscious mind is largely untapped. Knowing how to use your whole brain will greatly empower you to remember more.

How effective is it? Demonstrations were shown, it is impressive, but I feel that is only the learning part of it, helping you to remember facts. But I think the real effectiveness of this course is not just helping memory, it is the mindset. Learning to be positive. We'll see how it works, when Deshane starts this next year.

Nurture them while young. Cos’ they have the potential to absorb. GOOD JOB.

i was talking to a singaporean friend here and apparently she heard of mindchamp sometime back and was tempted to registered her son then. her son is 8 years old now. she was very impressed by their demo and the boys that were asked to do the demo were actually picked from the audience! i thought these boys were mindchamp students. need to ask u more abt the demo.

Hi...I only heard about MindChamps when I read about Kwek's latest "entrepreneurship-driven" scheme for preschools.

How is it going for your child?
