SURPRISING TRUTHS
THE IMPLICATIONS OF BRAIN RESEARCH

By Maria Almendarez Barron

Movement is the only thing that unites all brain levels and integrates the right and left hemispheres of young learners. The locomotion centers of the brain are paired, facing one another along the top of the right and left hemispheres, so that the center controlling the left leg parallels the center controlling the right leg, and so forth. For this reason, movement ties in both hemispheres, allowing young children almost their only opportunity to apply both sides of the brain to an effort and attempt to pass information between the right and left hemispheres. For this reason many young children (and older kinesthetic learners) must move to learn. They are able to pay attention and learn only if they are free to wiggle around; sitting still is a strain.

Communication between hemispheres begins when a child is about five years old, becomes more effective around age seven (when a child can deal with the abstract), and is fully communicating about age 9-10 for girls and puberty for boys.
