Contrary to common misconception, a child should learn in a relaxed and happy environment instead of ‘military’ learning style where the coursework is rigid and dull.
While discipline is important, it is not the most effective way to bring out the inborn potential of a child. How many times have we seen children rebelling against their parents due to the stress and pressure put to them by their own parents? Is it because they are not 'disciplined enough' or probably parents did not take the effort to understand their child better?
It is important to lay a firm groundwork for a child during pre-school and all the way to secondary education.To guide them to the right path in early stages is crucial because in order to correct them later, it will be more difficult and enormous effort is needed.
BCL believes that every child can excel in life without having to succumb to stress and a mountain-load of homework.

How the brain works
Our mind operates in the realm of two brain hemispheres, the analytical left and the creative right hemisphere. The left hemisphere is described as analytical because it operates in linear and sequential pattern by moving from one point to another in a step-by-step manner. It is most efficient in processing verbal information (language).
The right hemisphere is the creative section where it seeks and constructs patterns and recognises relationship between separate parts. It does not move linearly but processes simultaneously. It is most efficient at visual and spatial processing.

The different stages of brain development
In order to mould a child effectively, perhaps parents need to know the following stages of brain development:
1. Human brain will develop rapidly soon after birth
2. Between the age of 5 to 6 years old, about 70% of the brain is developed
3. Once children reach their teenage years, (10 to 11 years old), almost 90% of their brain is developed
4. Just before they reach adulthood (20 years old), their brain would have reached full development
