How in heaven’s name does someone BUILD A BRAIN! Please allow me to explain. In the late 1990’s, I was watching a webinar about teaching for intelligence. This very idea was counter to all I had been taught in college. Of course, intelligence is fixed - determined by the genes and early childhood. It can’t be “taught” or so I thought. But one man on the panel of child experts disagreed with everyone else. I saw his name was Reuven Feuerstein and he changed my life!

We continue the journey and learn what Feuerstein meant with the theory of "Structural Cognitive Modifiability." This idea was counter-culture when Reuven expounded on it many years ago. Now neuroscience has proven he was right-on and way ahead of his time!
Kibwe and Dr. Zehr also dig deep into the concept of hope! Can hope actually be frightening? Learn how mediation is much more than getting smarter. It is at the core of human relationships and positive change! Can transforming change happen with as few as 20 or 30 sessions? Listen in to see!

Why is the process as important as the product? Join us on this journey! Let us introduce how mediation is a process of high quality human interaction to grow your brain!

If you listened to Season 1, you know all about the 28 cognitive functions. Now discover the method for building them, block by block, thought by thought. It's called "mediation" and it rocks!

How many assignments does my child have to do
tonight, or how many pages does he need to read? Does he know? How
many people are coming for the holidays? Our brain usually likes to
know just how many items it needs to handle. It’s a great skill to build!

So this is a simple yet profoundly important
thinking skill. Can my brain copy something correctly from one place to
another, like words and numbers? I’m great with letters, not so good with
phone numbers, for example. If the brain cannot do this, then school and
life will probably be very challenging.
