It's going to be interesting...

Tim will start his PEP course this evening which is short for Perceptual Enrichment Program. It is about 12 weeks of playing various brain games which are designed to weave together the functioning parts of the brain and connect then correctly. Because Tim is under-achieving at school this is a way to help him get into a more positive frame of mind to learn properly and actually enjoy school! The developers of the course believe that in the first few years of life, where we learn motor control, emotional intelligence and language skills, that these lay the correct foundation for all our future development. Sometimes this gets disturbed for what ever reason, and things go wrong. For example, Tim was faced with a move to a foreign country at age 6, at an age when he was unable to verbalise his real feelings about leaving his friends and familiar surroundings. We don't know for sure what effect this had on him, but the very idea that it might have played a part in his developmental phases and disturbed their evolvment encourages us to try PEP. The games are specifically designed to train the brain to develop the correct pathways and improve such things as; attention & concentration; organisation & planning; making choices and indexing; clarity and peace in thought processes; emotion & behaviour; taking in, retaining and saving information; co-ordination and dexterity; writing and spatial awareness; language skills and facilitation for intelligence that one knows is there but can't be got at!!!!! WOW! If this all happens it will be amazing!!! So watch this space and hear how he gets on! For more information check out www.pepnederland.nl
