The brain is either in a learning mode—the Learning Switch is on—or not. Repetition, drills, and everyday stresses all tend to turn the Learning Switch off. The same happens when a child has special challenges, or a person has suffered trauma or injury. For the brain to properly do its job, the Learning Switch needs to be on. Once on, at any age, life becomes a wonderful new adventure, filled with movement, creativity, and new possibilities.
In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss:
- how Anat discovered the Learning Switch, and how this Essential can help any child, or adult, become a more potent and powerful learner;
- practical tips and examples of how to use the Learning Switch with children with special needs;
- the importance of giving children the space to experience themselves and their own learning;
- recognizing when you are in a learning mode or not, and discovering how to turn on your own Learning Switch;
- A Life Unbound, a documentary about this Method, is being shown online (check out our upcoming screenings);
- related questions from the audience.
