I have been into mind mapping for a long time and use it almost daily at work and home. It is therefore not a surprise that I had my kids into it as well.
My girl got a hang of it quite quickly and readily. She would not start her composition without first drawing her map and it has definitely helped her in her structuring. While my son does make use of it especially for Science when he was in Primary 5 and
6, he did not quite enjoy the mapping process and had to be pushed to do it. This year at Secondary 1, he has many more content-heavy subjects such as History, Geography, Literature, etc. I know mind mapping will help him a great deal if only I could convince him to use it willingly and more frequently. Finally, I decided to work at where he would find most interest in - computer! I downloaded the mind mapping software into his PC and after a few minutes of tutorial with him, he has since gotten hooked! In fact, he so impressed his classmates and teacher when he presented his last History summary presentation using the mind mapping sofware. Today, he uses the mind mapping software willingly, frequently and with such ease. This entire holiday, it’s just mind mapping for all his revisions and I need not utter a word to convince him further. The wonders of technology!
