We all want our children to be smart. Though the basic intellegence was already determined biologically when we were born, there are many activities we can pursue that will contribute to the better development of a child brain, which ultimately affect their growth, development and success in his/her life.

One of the mostly recently talked is the "Right Brain/Left Brain" issue. According to the theory concluded by researchers, the left brain is the analytical one, responsible for measurement, logic, math, analysis and the right brain is responsible for creativity, art, intuition and the use of words. Research has shown that it is very important to increase the communication between the 2 hemispheres of the brain. If we do that, we increase the functionality of the brain. This can be done in all ages, and has proven to be beneficial. Improved balance between the two hemispheres, improves peace of mind, harmony, reading and comprehension, and develops better concentration and focus.
