The human brain is divided in two different hemispheres -- the right and the left brain. Each of these hemispheres have a unique mode of thinking, which is stark opposite to the other. Most of us, have a strong leaning towards a particular side of the brain. And each side of the brain has a unique thinking style. Depending on which side your child’s brain leans more, you can create a learning environment and activities, which can help him make the most out of his dominant brain personality.
