Heart-based right brain enrichment programs and early learning centers

By a Teacher

One day 5-year-old Mary had just sat down to begin a relaxed mental journey.

When I asked her to close her eyes, relax and feel her heartbeat, Mary kept opening her eyes, peeking over at a new lesson on the shelf.

The lesson featured a stuffed blue velvet mommy frog with tiny multicolored baby frogs nestled around her. It was plain to see that Mary was particularly in love with the mommy.

So instead of competing with mommy frog, I decided to incorporate her into our present activity. I took the mommy frog off the tray and put an elephant in her place to "baby-sit" her froglings.

When Mary set the mommy frog on her lap, a noticeable change came over her face. She was completely at ease. She had what she wanted and could now relax and focus.

It turned out that Mary took the mommy frog with her on an incredible imaging trip to the Himalayan mountains. While in the mountains, they came across some frogs! Mary told me that her mommy frog could speak to the foreign frogs quite easily because all frogs speak the same language -- Froggish!
