Did you know that the different sides of the brain control different human traits? Scientific studies have shown that the right brain and the left brain have different effects on the way we think and act. Also, one side of the brain is more predominant than the other, leading to preferences in behavior. Let's take a quick look at the characteristics produced by the right brain and the left brain.
Right Brain: The right brain controls the artistic abilities of a person. A person with a predominant right brain over the left brain will be more artistic, creative and spontaneous.
Left Brain: On the other hand, a person with a more active left brain as compared to the right brain will be more logical, precise, analytical and controlled.
In our schools today, more emphasis is given to Left Brain Activities like math, logic, spelling, and related activities as compared to right brain activities. We can however, influence development of both sides of the brain equally by introducing the child to more right brain activities alongside with the more traditional logic, math and spelling activities. Right Brain Activities involve a lot of visuals, patterns, fluidity, role playing and imagination.
