In case Senator Booker decides to introduce a bill to make Brain Education a compulsory subject I will help him write this bill. I have already figured out brain/wisdom/self-identity education.
RIDGEFIELD PARK, NJ, January 06, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- There are four distinct levels/stages of emotional intelligence learning where the very foundational first - the fetus stage is learned through the brain alone; the mind is still not functional at this stage; as the mind works in words and at this stage there is no word skill.
At the second - child stage the emotional intelligence learning is almost entirely through the brain for the first year; when the child begins to say simple words like ma and pa. Then gradually up to the age of two the mind starts to function with four-six word sentences. Gradually by age five the child's mind begins to function with full sentences.
By age five when the mind begins to function; the brain is already physically well set having built the neural pathways that establish the knowing, understanding and becoming of the individual's self identity. No wonder emotional intelligence is mostly the domain of the brain where emotional-intelligence/wisdom/self-image/self-identity is generated by the innate/unconscious behavior of the neurons, through their physically set neural pathways.
By age five the quality of the wisdom path should be well established for the majority of Americans; as our physical nurturing of the brain/body is healthy. We do our best and succeed in making the child happy by pleasuring the child's five senses. We provide the child with love, warmth and security; all the ingredients that are required to create healthy neural connections. Unfortunately parents start building an over confident, phony self-image/self-identity/emotional-intelligence/emotional-health by grilling/cooking the child's brain with the false/emotionally-unhealthy belief of the child being the best. It is essential that our leaders must use the bully pulpit to wake up America to the damage that we our doing to our future generations by raising them on this false belief.
Thus even though we continue to provide a healthy nurturing of the physical brain; we provide unhealthy upbringing of the mind through words by telling the child s/he is the best. The brain is plastic at this early stage so the physical neural pathways become confused and unhealthy.
Nature's brain/wisdom/self-image/self-identity/emotional-intelligence education starts almost from conception and it is practically over by age five. In the correct nature of things the child's brain should be well set on the road to wisdom and so there should be just three stages of self-image/emotional-intelligence development- from fetus to child to guru/master. It is the parent's ingraining the false belief of the child being the best that alters the path to a life long emotional struggle due to the creation of a part phony/unhealthy self-image/emotional-intelligence.
Another emotionally unhealthy/challenging belief we ingrain is, 'You can if you think you can'. This belief is essential but not enough to succeed. President Kennedy believed that America would land a man on the moon in a decade. His vision alone did not do the job. It took 22,000 scientists, billions of dollars and brilliant minds and brains working for long hours that accomplished the moon landing.
Our education system leaves brain education to individual parents and groups. We introduce fuzzy brain education by the time the child enters school, if at all; when brain education's most crucial period is over; when neural pathways have already been well set.
Not only is brain education different from mind education; brain education takes place mostly during the first five years of life where the mind does not even begin to function during the first two years and only gradually develops up to the age of five.
This is what our leaders need to do:
1) Train parents in nurturing healthy self-identity/emotional-intelligence/brain/mind/wisdom/emotional-health/self-image in their young.
2) Create brain/mind/self-identity/emotional-health/wisdom/emotional-intelligence inspectors/coaches who must track and guide/coach the brain/mind/self-identity development from birth onwards till the infant enters school.
3) Train teachers to detect and heal emotionally challenged self-identities of the young and old students.
4) Create self-identity/wisdom/emotional-intelligence/self-image seminars for those older.
5) Create a whole new subject for all grade levels; that transforms brains and minds into super-health/wisdom.
6) Our leaders must use the bully pulpit to wake up America to the damage that we our doing to our future generations by raising them on false beliefs.
7) Just as learning each extra subject like math and science; even painting and learning to play music adds extra horse/brain power to the brain, similarly learning computer coding/programing adds extra brain/horse power to the brain. Computer programing must be added as a compulsory subject for PreK-12 and beyond.
Our Leaders Must Wake up to the Fact that Mind Education is Built on the Foundation of Brain Education and Yet Brain Education is Ignored, Neglected and Above all the Brain is Miseducated.
The 4th R Foundation is a non-profit education research foundation that researches informal/emotional intelligence education, human nature, brain, mind, conscientiousness, self, wisdom, life coaching, adult reeducation, shyness, self image, emotional brain baggage etc.
