Wink Program - Right Brain Kids

[lelask]

I know this is a very old topic but I would like to know what are others experiences so far.

We have been using the alpha relaxation cd before and during the kids homework. It has made a huge difference to the mood of the kids and they are much more enthusiastic to actually do their homework AND more importantly seem to be relaxed enough ( after a big day at school) to ask questions and learn from their homework rather than just put the right answer in the box. They are participating in their learning rather than just finishing it. Plus I quite like the sound of it...the music that is 
We are using memory magic as a replacement to the other wink components for the time being. We will get more wink bits and pieces as they hit the ceiling on the memory magic games, or need a change.
I hope someone has answers to your question I am very keen to find out how people are going with it also. There just doesn't seem to be anyone here using it, surely someone has some big kids.....

Wow! After reading! I have been inspired to go ahead and buy it...I had been waiting because my kiddo is too young! I am already worried that she is Very left-brain oriented and don't want to show these to her yet, but Mommy wants to learn too! I cannot believe how fast the kids learn! Tonight we were getting ready for bed and TW time!  I told her we which one we were going to watch and she said, oh.  There is an air purifier in that one.
Huh??!!  She doesn't know what that even is...

But she was absolutely correct, after having watched it once. I want to learn like a toddler!

So I am going to try it! Why not, right?  As it seems like all the posts are asking and not really answering, I will absolutely keep everyone updated!!!

Although I cannot promise that this old, currently at home with child, not challenged, brain will be the best example!

I ordered them tonight, so here is hoping, right!

hehe thats funny You will love the linking memory sentances and I bet you are really surprised at how many you remember. I can recall up to 40 easily after only 4 attempts at it. I havnt even tried more than 40 yet as Jaykob is "only" up to 36 and I dont want him peeking!  I am surprised how fast they pick it up every time we have a go at something.
Next we will get something (other than mandalas, which are loosing their shine  ) for photographic memory training. I think that would be overall a much more useful skill than almost anyother advanced skill taught through the right brain crowd. Imagine going through school being able to see the answers while you do your test!!!!! Wow.

I am reading the Wink book right now and I have been playing with the idea of buying the whole set for some time now as I aslo want to be ready and know what I am doing when my dd is ready for it.

Are you using - going to buy the whole kit?

[Kerileanne99]

Lelask- yep, for better or worse, the whole shebang!  Although I am quite certain my two-year-old will still show me up learning wise, I am going to give it a go...worst case, it gets put on a shelf and resurrected when A is older!  Although I have much higher hopes...

I would like to recommend both Tweedlewink and Wink Overview Courses. They are absolutely fantastic. I am so amazed that the Teachers from Right Brain Kids are sharing all their knowledge and experience so freely. Reading Pamela’s Hickein book is a great introduction to both Tweedlewink and Wink teaching programs.

I took Tweedlewink course  when my son was 8 months. I have been using Tweedlewink DVDs and homeschooling using Righ Brain Kids Program for almost 4 years. I am so grateful for this experience. My second child was thought prenataly and along with her brother since she was born. I am amazed how the gentle stimulation of the Tweedlewink Programm is helping in the whole brain development of  both my children… it would take a very long time to describe all the benefits… let me just say that at the age of two, given the variety of knowledge, showed a particular interest in music and musical instruments – at the age of four he plays violin and has perfect pitch; he loves to learn, read and discover the world… my daughter is now 2.5, she loves to learn languages and is a very quick learner; she is in love with dance and gymnastics.

I can see how Right Brain Stimulation had an amazing impact on myself over the years. I have started Wink Course and I am going to introduce it to my children when they are ready.

The most important think – the Right Brain Kids teachers, trainers, anybody I was in touch with, are very very helpful. You can always ask them for help and advice.

With watching TW DVDs – always follow your child. We used to watch it once a day four days – now we watch one lesson once a day for one or two days, and it is enough.

I hope it will be of some help to you. All the best!

It is about  time I should read deeply the Wink book. I want to use tweedlewink and wink at preschool with 3y olds and older. My main problem is to get relaxed. I can not stop my thoughts!

Ola, I would like to hear more about the RB activities you do at home with your children. It was so inspiring to read your post.

Keri, did you have a chance to try wink with Alex? I have tried but A. is not ready yet.

Oh , I have to say that I used wink dvds before studying for my exams and I swear it worked. My concentration was much better. I passed with A,A,A

We did Tweedlewink when my son was little. He is 5 now and we started on Wink. I was shocked! The memory train cards have a story that is very random, like "A chicken jumped over a house which smelled like a strawberry but was really a flower..." I can't believe how quickly my son can remember.  First I showed him 5 cards and that was easy so I started showing him 20 new cards at a time and yes, he can remember them all!  After two days, and about 4 short sessions, he is up to 100 cards. He never likes to be tested so he reads them silently & I show him the blank cards.  The only way I know he is actually doing it is because if he gets stuck he will ask what is after "the plane" and I will find the plane and help him remember the next one. I can still only remember the first line (not that I have been trying hard) so I am amazed that he can do this. 

My only complaint is that I didn't want the overview course. I get this right brain stuff and don't want to go through a huge course.  But, there are no instructions with some things. We got some zoo cards and some tiles and squares and I have no clue how to use them because the only instructions are "start here." I would think they would at least explain the activity.

[Mandabplus3]

Cassidy the square tiles are for photographic memory practice. Start with the smallest pattern card and make a simple pattern using the tiles. Allow your child to see the tile pattern for 1-3 seconds them have then re create the same pattern. As they get better at it incease the complexity of the patterns or increase the number of tiles. I reckon prhotographic memory would have to be one of the more useful skills in wink. Well worth the effort.
The zoo cards I will look up for you, I am pretty sure they are used in the same way as the tiles, but you start with 3 cards and have your child recall the cards. Then increase the number of cards. I didn't do the course but I must have read this information somewhere....

Thanks!

They could be used for photoeyeplay art exercise when photoeyeplay gets "boring" especially for children who can ´t sit still.
