Ep. 12 The Right Side of Normal with Cindy Gaddis (Part 1)

Cindy Gaddis is a homeschooling mom to seven and the author of the book, The Right Side of Normal: Understanding and Honoring the Natural Learning Path for Right-Brained Children.  

In this episode, Cindy and I go over multiple topics covered in her book including:

• how she defines right-brained and left-brained,
• what the research says,
• the presenting characteristics of right-brained and left-brained learners,
• how the school environment favors left-brained learners,
• how to support our creative children whether we homeschool or not
• the three distinct stages of learning 
• labels like learning disabled and ADHD

and so much more!
