1KHO 119: We Cannot Learn Sitting Still and Being Quiet | Dr. Carla Hannaford, The Dominance Factor

I have learned a tremendous amount about movement and learning and the way our brains work from Dr. Carla Hannaford. The first time she was on our podcast (Episode 29) we talked about her life-changing book Smart Moves: Why Learning is not All in Your Head. 

In this episode we talk about another of her life-changing books called The Dominance Factor: How Knowing Your Dominant Eye, Ear, Brain, Hand & Foot Can Improve Your Learning. This book and our conversation in this episode are filled with important pieces of information for parents and for teachers that I'd NEVER heard of before. 

We need to know our dominances beyond which hand we write with because our dominances affect every aspect of our learning and many aspects of our relationships. This will help your marriage, it will help your parenting, it will help your kids with their school work, it will help in your work place. Going through life without this information from Dr. Hannaford is a big disadvantage. 

Your set of specific dominances gives you a dominance profile. There are 32 total. Our current educational system favors one of the 32 that accounts for just 15% of learners. If you have a child struggling with school, this is a must-listen to episode. 

Learn your dominance profile. Learn why it matters. Learn why 75-80% of half your brain shuts down under stress or when learning new things. Learn how you can enhance your brain function over the course of your life. Learn why getting out in nature and unstructured play are a must during childhood and during adulthood. And SO much more!! 

Dr. Hannaford's books are important reads for anyone who works with children.
