Mind's Pleasure goes out of the box into raising successful generation

In his lecture "Upside Down Thinking - Thinking Outside the Box", Mr. Boreham gave an introduction on the economic education, and the misconception that schools in our days are making by educating children to handle the old disappearing jobs instead of giving them the opportunity to use their thinking skills with the new trend of jobs that is taking place. He gave a new view of the economic field and its influence on daily basis and provided the participants with different innovative ways to prepare the new generation to be able to succeed in this field.

On the other hand, Dr Mohammad Naji Al Hammadi veteran psychological consultant conducted his lecture in Arabic titled 'The language with your children - negative and positive aspects', during which he stressed on the importance of dialogue in family life and its positive impact on children's behaviour.

Dr Hammadi reiterated the influence of language on the present and the future life of children, especially the impact of words on their subconscious minds. He gave tips on how to use the right language to encourage children and give them incentives.

Abdullah Al Kadri, one of the attendees commented:

" "We used to apply techniques discussed in this lecture that are related to the creative thinking in our day-to-day life, but we never gave much attention to it. This lecture helped us use our knowledge and experience in life in raising our children, through adopting new ideas that are crucial to the needs of today's life."
