Abacus, the ancient calculating tool was initially solely used for the purpose of doing higher arithmetic calculation, but has now emerged as a holistic brain development program for kids. While improved Mathematical calculation is the immediate visible outcome, the list of benefits of Abacus learning goes much beyond. The modern day program of Abacus teaching is designed specifically for the kids from 5 to 15 years of age. It is scientifically proved that during this phase the process of brain development or Neurogenesis is at its peak. Being a complete brain development program for kids, abacus learning activates both left and right hemispheres of a child’s brain, resulting in added benefits such as – Increased level of concentration, enhanced listening ability, better logical thinking, improved recall, photographic memory, better overall academic performance, diminished math phobia and self-confidence.

At a first glance the qualities like concentration, listening ability, memory and recall, may not appear very significant, but let me assure you these four could be the prime cause behind the most common problem we come across in the academic performance of kids. In layman’s language, it is said that the child is poor in studies; technically we can term it a result of lack of concentration, poor listening ability & memory and weak recall.

Interestingly these four are interconnected and the right or the creative hemisphere of the brain is responsible for them.

We often say that a child is not focusing on studies or has diverted attention while studying. Do we really know that this is actually because of a lack of concentration which actually has a scientific reason and is not being done voluntarily by the child?
