7. Sinopsis
The book was published by Japanese renowned early childhood educator, Dr Makoto
Shichida. The book is useful in explaining how to draw out children's strong will and potential
through the Shichida Method. The purpose of education is not to teach knowledge and skills but to
create a well-balanced child with enormous abilities, rich creativity and the ability to use a huge
proportion of the brain. These can only be achieved without stress and a right parent-child
relationship.
Left brain controls things like logic, written and spoken languages, scientific ability and number
skills. The Shichida method targets the development of the right brain which is responsible for
the photographic memory ability, computer-like calculation ability, intuition and creative
imagination. All these skills can be acquired by doing exercises that stimulate the right brain.
Both parts of the brain have different information processing methods. The left brain processes
information via language while the right brain processes information via sensory images stored in
the memory. The right brain’s capabilities are all connected through these images. Children who
develop right brain memory can instantaneously memorize what they see, as if they are
taking a photograph. The left brain is the brain of words, we use it every day so it’s well
developed. In order to make the right brain work well, it’s important to do image training every day

There are many strategies that was suggested and focus mainly on early childhood but some also
can applicable to the children in primary school. I learn on how to convery our love to the child by
listening to child’s conversation as we can use echo method. If the child say "I'm feeling sad", You
ask "Oh, why are you feeling sad?". By echoing after her, it is an effective method to converse
with the child. Avoid using commands and instructive words, but rather in a tone of request when
we want to ask the child to do something. Instead of 'Put the toy back into the basket', we can say
'Amy, could you please put the toy back, this will make teacher very happy.
I would also like to try the flashcard method of flashing vocabulary to the children especially
pictures at a faster speed of 0.5second . Right brain education utilises unconscious and large
quantity input without the use of memorisation. Mechanical repetition without seeking
comprehension opens up right brain circuits. By flashing cards, you show pictures and say words
at the same time. So you connect both brains. Pictures and images are processed by the right
brain, while language and words are processed by the left brain. Flashing cards strengthened
both processing.
Another method that I would try from the book is linking memory. Use picture cards. Pick 2 cards
randomly and make a story. For eg, 'Rabbit' and 'Hat'. The rabbit jumped over the hat. And show
the cards to your child and put them face down. Have your child tell what pictures the cards
contain. Once she can tell the pictures in the 2 cards, increase to 3.. and then to 4 etc. Make sure
to use the cards in the order you started. So 'Rabbit' will always be the first card, and 'Hat' always
the second. Once the child can memorise about 40 - 50 cards, something amazing will happen.
She will be able to memorise the order of the cards in one glance as an image without the help of
words.
