Mr Ilchi Lee selected and published this article which is about strategies for motivation. He says also, this is not a competitively based educational method. Competitive strategies for student motivation, such as grading and contests, may have their place in certain educational settings, but these are best avoided in beginning Brain Education activities. In fact, many children need a break from highly competitive educational environments, so please allow your child to experience these lessons without that kind of pressure. In the long run, your child will be more prepared for the competitive realities of life if first allowed to gain confidence and self-acceptance.

Last try to remain positive and patient with your child at all times. Some of the exercises may be difficult at first. Avoid comparing a child’s progress to that of other kids, and focus on what he or she is doing well. The important thing is to keep trying! Also, the lessons are designed to be about one hour in length, but the amount of time an individual needs to master particular exercises will vary greatly, so be ready to improvise!
