Some older kids have found him a little too chatty at times, but he is offering important feedback on training. Nigel, the BrainBeat coach, works extra hard these early days. Motivation is usually highest during these days, which is important, as many users are working hard to achieve competency and some mild frustration is not unusual. Lots of instruction and feedback (literally) is being thrown at your child. As with most kinds of training, improvement comes down to the total number of repetitions of exercise. There’s no such thing as finishing BrainBeat training too fast. “Can my child complete the training faster?” After the first day of training, completing a session every other day is an achievable goal. The goal for completing the BrainBeat training program is 4-6 weeks, so we recommend a user complete 2-3 sessions per week.
We recommend your child begins training at a time when they (and you, in support) can complete the first two sessions on consecutive days. The BrainBeat core training program consists of 14 individual training sessions (or days), each taking 20 minutes (except Session One, which runs 30 minutes as a tutorial session).
Parents are often surprised that BrainBeat is initially demanding, even for adults.
This allows the family to try their hand at BrainBeat in two sample “worlds,” Splat-O-Mat and Balloon Pop.
BrainBeat can help your child reach their full potential in just about anything that matters to him or her. Focus helps not just with school work, but in learning music, playing sports, and even staying on top of household tasks. BrainBeat will help your child do better in just about anything.
Here are some ideas on how to get your child excited and motivated to use BrainBeat. Ask him (or her) to think about areas where he hopes to do better and use this conversation to discuss the importance of using BrainBeat. If your child is a bit older (8 or 9-12), consider introducing BrainBeat as a training program to help improve focus and concentration. Children this age tend to be motivated by the novelty of Nigel, the coach, the “new world” introduced in each session, and the challenge of ascending levels. If your child is a younger BrainBeat user (ages 6-8), he or she may view BrainBeat as more of a game than a training program. Are you ready to get started on your BrainBeat journey?
