Today's world that our kids are growing in is so much more competitive, compared to the time when most of us used to grow up in. Among the common problems we see today:
1. Our children gets stressed out at school - There are many more subjects taught to them today compared to our time. If it was tough back during our time, it is even tougher today!
2. Our children are not enthusiastic about learning - This is mostly because they are finding it hard to understand what they are learning. When they give up trying, they give up being interested in learning.
3. Poor memory and concentration - The method of teaching in school today is getting more and more left brain focused. There are more things to learn and memorize.
4. Poor social skills and lack of confidence - Remember during our childhood days, there were no video games yet. In the evenings we would go out and play with our neighbours and friends. Today's children 'interacts' with their video games, these are virtual interactions, and they become uncomfortable when interacting with actual people.
5. Confused and not knowing where their inborn talent lies - This happens when parents themselves do not understand what would be good for their child. So what happens next is that the child is sent to every single type of class and co-curicullum activity to learn via the 'trial and error' method. While some may be able to afford this, how many parents out there have the limited time and money to try on everything? Wouldn't a better approach be to understand what the child would be good at and focus on developing their strength?
While some of these problems are self inflicted, it is also caused by the rigid education system and high social expectation. The ultimate aim of BCL is to mould a child with positive mind to conquer fear and to make learning fun. The ideal learning environment should not be stressful but stimulating, exciting and far away from the stress above.
