Inspiring
|
|
My eight-year old daughter has just completed her rocks and crystals homework using a mind map. I helped her out and we both really enjoyed it. It would have been quite frustrating to do in the default way (lists and tables) as she is quite a slow writer and not naturally good at spelling. We managed to cram so much info in there, using drawings, colours and just a few words. I've got my own adult version of the book now.

New Way of Outlining Your Thoughts
|
|
Mind-mapping falls within the larger category of techniques for organizing your thoughts. There are schools of web or blob thinking and other nonlinear forms of organizing material, and this book is clear, concise and well-presented, although I'm a little unclear if it's for parents or for parents to read with their kids. Worth trying if you're not a "Type A" personality. I just finished "I Sleep At Red Lights: A True Story of Life After Triplets," by Bruce Stockler, a gift from my husband, and am passing it along to all my friends--a wonderful, vibrant, funny and compassionate memoir about family life.

Best Book
|
|
Tony Buzan has written many books on mind mapping, a great skill to acquire for anyone. This version is well laid out, has easy to read, simple text and lots and LOTS of colour, pictures and diagrams. And, there's the trick, the book is designed to use many of the 14 brain skills both logical and creative, so making the subject matter immediately more appealing, and more memorable! I'd recommend Mind Mapping for kids to kids of all ages. The book is short, but packed with information. You could read the whole book in less than an hour. No wonder it's a best seller.

Make school more interesting
|
|
Tony Buzan has been at this mind mapping stuff for a while now and I wish someone had given me this book when I was at school. Its really easy to follow and before you know it your kids will be drawing colourful spider diagrams full of facts that help them with their school work. I gave one to my nephew and I've never seen him so interested in his homework.
