I have been trying to think through my blogging plans for this year and since this is my spot for thinking things through, I decided to give it a try.

This is the last section of the notes I took for the Right Brained Learners in a Left Brained World book. I don’t remember, to be honest, why it is called “troubleshooting”, but it looks like the notes are to do with tutoring or helping a right brained child at home. […]

I have to shut down my processing on this R-B Learning thing in order to be here for my family over Christmas, but I just wanted to point to Throwing Marshmallows: Fixing Right-Brained Learners? though if you traced Cindy’s pingback you would find it anyway and probably most readers of this blog are making […]

I was drafting out this post yesterday, but Stephanie at Throwing Marshmallows said it so much better: Putting Kids in a Box
