Now a days every one wants instant results, instant noodles, learn english in few days etc ... These types of news are continuously focussed in the media.
Now a days the trend is to make your child’s brain active in three days . Many parents fall into prey to the quckery named as “Mid Brain". Yes this is quckery. Parents are trapped by the name of brain psychology.
Parents want the result instantly without taking any efforts. So, they get attracted to the false advertisement of Mid Brain and get trapped by spending a lot of money fotr it. Near about 5000 to 15000 rupees are charged to activate the mid brain of a child.
We will first understand what is this Mid Brain fantacy? There are many companies in the market called as Mid Brain. They promise to active the brain of the child of 7 to 16 years of age group. If the children belong to this age group they are allowed to complete the course of three days assuring that their brain will be active and they can read, identify the colour, identify a person standing in front by completely folding (closing) their eyes . When they do this, it is understood that the child’s brain has been activated.
It is very easy to identify the things by covering black strip on eyes. Many magicians use this trick. They even drive the vehicles by covering black strip on eyes. Even if they cover their eyes with a black strip, they can see through it.
These ‘Mid Brain' fellows teach the students to lie. It is easy to see the things with certain angle and identify. If the Mid Brain of these children is activated, they can see the things after tieing a black handkerchief and wearing the goggles which is used for swimming.They can identify things kept in a certain angel. If we keep the thing infront or behind them they can’t identify it .
They can’t activate Mid Brain of the blind children.
Basically this type of miracle never happens. The things can be identified by senses such as touch, smell and hearing . But it is difficult to identify them in the absence of this.
If any body is proclaiming that they can do this then it is a challenge of Rs 20,000,00 by "Akhil Bhartiya Andhashradha Nirmulan Samiti". Accept the challenge and take the money. Then it will be accepted that mid brain can be activated. This is the trap where the parent get entangled in it. It is because these people use brain psychology to do this.
How the brain of the child is made and how does it function? How do the children become intelligent? The development of the brain starts from the first twelve years of the childhood. It is totally depended upon the neurons ( brain cell ) bonding with each other. The development of the brain is totally depended on the connection.
By using this information Mid Brain companies promise to activate the brain instantly and draw out money from the parents. It takes 12 years for development of the brain. Brain will not activate in two three days.
“How the brain develops ?” This is the common question in everyone’s mind . Brain developes by the various experiences the child gets in the childhood. More exposure more development.
Children need to be given the exposure of various kinds. Let the children play , take them on mountains, give exposure to the nature. Let them learn various things. Let them do the household work . The development of the brain will happen in this way. The Child brain develops through experiential leaning.
Parents will be depressed if they will be attracted by the companies like Mid Brain.
Parents need to give the quality time to their children and experiential base parenting. Then definitely there will be the development of the brain.
Again one more fad is going on DMIT test where a child's career and intellectual growth depends upon his thumbs impression. They use Howard Gardner theory of multiple intelligence.. theory provided is scientific but not the solution. DMIT test is not scientific. Recently Indian Psychiatrist Association has declared thwt this test is not scientific.
Parents the development of your children only depends upon the quality time you spend along with your ward and experiential learning.
