Brain Education is especially appropriate for today’s children because it offers tools to cope with issues that are unique to the young generation. Children today are sometimes referred to as “Generation M” because media dominate their lives in so many ways. Media technology, such as cable television and the Internet, provides a constant and unlimited flow of information. Youngsters must choose which ideas to accept and which to reject.
Their choices in this regard will affect their patterns of thinking about themselves and the world around them. The job of the educator and the parent is to help guide children in making these important decisions, which is a difficult task in a media culture more interested in selling jeans and cola than in creating well-rounded, confident individuals. Brain Education, in its essence, offers simple tools that provide children with the power to choose and use information more effectively.
