I am sure Singaporeans love their children. Maybe the real question should be how do they care...often parents care enough to spend their hard earned savings...when they come to get some Brain Gym intervention. The sessions are not cheap.
However to see results I have to ask them to spend more than money. What many Singaporeans apparently don't have enough of is TIME. "So can you help your son by doing the Brain Gym with him 3 more times in the week before you see me again?" This is essential, I explain... but my words are not really good enough.
"Sure," they answer, but when they come back they bring a host of excuses...its either work or school or homework or whatever.
Is it our competitiveness, our kiasu attitude or a results driven education system? Let the sociologists among us argue and debate for an answer. For now however, the child does not get the help they need.
Any easy way out? ...blame the specialist, of course.
