Our
handy Little Book of Talent is
proving to be quite a useful resource.
Have you bought a copy for yourself?
I recommend it.
This
week’s tip comes from Dr. Douglas Fields, a neurologist at the National
Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
He researches memory and learning.
His
discovery is this: “Our brains make stronger connections when they are stimulated three
times with a rest period of ten minutes between each stimulation.”
Daniel
Coyle follows the thought further by saying:
“To learn something most effectively,
practice it three times, with a ten- minute
break between each rep.”
Your
child will need some encouragement when giving this a try. I believe you will
like the results in the long run.
