This isn\u2019t new information!\u00a0 But most educators are frustrated with right-brain dominant learners because they are expected to teach these kids left-brain skills.\u00a0 Often a clash occurs.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a right-brain learner, it is possible to make the student \u201cwhole-brained\u201d.\u00a0 The brain has plasticity, and new neural pathways can be formed.\u00a0 If a student is \u201cwhole-brained\u201d, then information can easily be sent back and forth between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. This makes learning easy and fun.\u00a0 Some students just naturally have this, but others need a little help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you caught your child daydreaming instead of doing important homework assignments?
