The observations, conversations, recommendations information, and creations of a wife(not a girlfriend), mom (baby mama), professional(ultimate) social-lite(in my mind), living in reality (welcome to my world) in a suburb in Texas with a job (not a stay at home), two kids (cutest boys ever), one husband (he's enough) and an opinion(everyone's got one) about it all, for whatever rhyme or reason!

Is your child in their right brain to be successful at school?
Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:
Right Brain
Random
Intuitive
Holistic
Subjective
Synthesizing
Looks at wholes
Left Brain
Logical
Sequential
Rational
Analytical
Objective
Looks at parts
Most individuals have a distinct preference for one of these styles of thinking. Some, however, are more whole-brained and equally adept at both modes. In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain ones. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity.
So which are you?
Signed,
Right brained and creatively focused
