Myelin insulates the axon fiber, much as the copper wire in an electrical cord is insulated. More importantly, sufficiently developed myelinated neural networks are protected from a chemical housecleaning which nature releases around age 11. This action dissolves all undeveloped neural fields leaving the brain with the weight it had at 18 months. Not having to produce cognitive results removes stress and anxiety in trying to meet expectations. Visual, auditory and kinesthetic stimulation creates a powerful synergy that is more effective than either component alone.
Poor handwriting indicates a child is under stress and is emotionally vulnerable.
Stress is inherent in trying to meet expectations which has a highly detrimental impact on the brain s ability to commit information to memory. Training improves the ability to delay instant gratification and emotionally cope with frustration and environmental demands. Given the massive environmental stimulation a child receives in today s society, strong interactive resources are essential to counteract TV s highly detrimental passive influence on the young brain. Brain research has identified the critical need to supply a variety of multi-sensory stimulation to the young brain for motor development. Using visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetic stimulation in a non-threatening format greatly enhances the brain s ability to learn.
