Make Your Child Brilliant

Episode Six – Manchester (1x6)

Uitzenddatum: Jan 01, 2008

In Manchester, will she pick Jamie the ‘enigma’, who likes to explore and try anything and everything, from guitar to art and piano, and keeps his mind completely open? Or could it be 9 year old Aisha, who has a passion for history, culture and travel but has a tendency to hesitate and hold herself back at school because she’s afraid of getting things wrong? Or will it be multilingual Xin Xin, who after only a few years in Britain is fantastic at English and is fluent in Chinese too, but despite all these great achievements tends to put pressure on herself if she encounters something she can’t master straight away? One child gets the chance to have an intensive brain training programme that teaches them how learning different kinds of languages gives them a fresh insight into how their brain actually works; posture and how you stand can impact how you feel via a process of bio-feedback; how to deal with tough problems and take control to succeed and achieve; and how having a passion and gift in an area that doesn’t rest in the main core areas of the national curriculum doesn’t mean you should give it up. But will all this training and advice come together for this child’s final challenge?
