The Nest

The training nest

I set here this evening at a pc where my son is tutored.

I think about how his 10 year old brain is being "trained". Its at a place called Learning RX... And yes they call it "brain training".

Carving new "Neuro Paths" to cause him to think quicker and process information better. Proof it works? Yep, got plenty of that.

Pre Learning Rx

He could not read well at all

He could was introverted in public

He was very bashful

His memory was thin

Mid way through Learning Rx

He can read 100% better

He is NOT introverted at all

He is still a little bashful, just not in a "under minded" way

His memory is sharper as I watch him USE his brain.

My point to writing this?

Brain Training is difficult and painful. It always starts with the heart. You think about it, pray about it, fast, cry, and even question at times.

When we go to make a decision, we do it for the bigger picture and protect those we love. And in that "protecting" we try to explain, yet one can't fully do that because then the very one(s) you are protecting would be hurt.

A worship artist by the name of Jason Upton wrote a song called "Fly"

The momma bird pushes the bird out of the nest. As the bird oddly flys it cries, and the mom does to. However, the end result is a brand new way of thinking for the bird. It fly's, discovers and the end result is bigger and better than ever. But the Momma still has some pain.

Its a never ending "brain training". ahhhh.. Here comes my 10 year old. I wonder what he learned tonight through the process. Just a Thought
