Your Children’s Face Recognition Ability Grows on Its Own – Up to a Point!
Children love looking at faces of other children more than anything else. Watch these children’s reaction to looking at the pages of the Who Was That Baby book, Eyebrows 1.
NOTE: What you aren’t seeing in this video is how the inner artist of a child is awakened through these books. Children learn to identify parts of the face through one of their learning languages and begin drawing people’s eyebrows accurately after reading the eyebrow books.
Face recognition starts early in life.
As early as 3 days old, children prefer to see the face of their mommy over all other faces.
At the age of 3 months, they can tell the difference between male and female.
And then it’s a matter of the brain perceiving a certain number of faces – hundreds or thousands – to build up the part of the brain that gives you the ability to identify faces.
That’s why books in the past like Where’s Waldo? were so popular a decade ago. Searching for faces in a crowd is something that children absolutely LOVE. Their brain craves this activity.
In our Eyebrow Mastery Activity book in the series, we have face searching activity pages as well. But we go beyond simply searching for faces. We leave the simple skills learned in the Where’s Waldo books in the dust…
You’ll discover this while reading them with your children.
RECOMMENDED: Start with only the eyebrow books: Eyebrow Shapes 1, Eyebrow Shapes 2, and Eyebrows Mastery Activity Book. Consider getting an activity book for each child so he / she has their own. Give them a week or two – or even a month – to master it. Add the eyes, forehead, and other parts of the face later after mastering each facial feature.
Many of the parents who purchase the Who Was That Baby books also purchase our Who Was That Person? books to get the upgrade of face recognition skills at an adult mastery level.
And they love the journal that goes along with each book in the series since the journal teaches them how to actually throw an Eyebrow Hunt Party. It gives the parents a lot of fun in their life as well.
If We Have a Certain Level of Skill Now, Why Bother?
You might take face recognition skills for yourself and your children for granted.
Consider these two points:
But that’s not what happened.
1. In one of author Dr. Donna Schwontkowski’s pilot studies, participants gazed at a face for one full minute.
You might think that during a whole minute, a face could be memorized in great detail.
They were utterly incapable of writing a list of the characteristics on the face. The top scores were only four to five characteristics!
They only saw about 12.5% of the beauty on faces.
In their mind, faces look like the left side of this picture instead of the right.
And trained police officers were only marginally better at 15%.
This tells us EVERYONE IS MISSING OUT ON THE BEAUTY OF FACES.
2. In the same pilot study, Dr. Donna discovered that participants could not describe characteristics so that someone else understood what they looked like.
The Who Was That Person books solve all that with a universal language where everyone finally speaks the same words when talking about the face.
