Video Transcript:
Have you ever noticed that you or even your kids, can be receptive what is going on? Or, instead of being receptive, you can be reactive, where you want to fight back or flee and run away, or even freeze? Or, for some people, collapse in a faint?
Those are the four "F's" of a reactive state that shut down our learning. They shut down the way that we open to connecting with others and even connecting with our own resources. What I've noticed over the many years of being a clincian, educator, and parent myself, is that there are things we can do in helping raise children that allow our kids to move from reactive states (fight, flee, freeze, or faint) that shut them down from being open to learn and tapping into to their own resilience to moving them toward what's called a receptive state.
And, when you understand how to do that as a parent, when you learn how to create what we can call a "Yes Brain" state, you create what is called a mindset or an approach to life which is filled with vigor and vitality. It's filled with resilience in the face of challenges. And, this "Yes Brain" state is actually something that you can cultivate in your children. Now the great news is there is a step-by-step approach to teaching you what to do in your connection with your kids so that they develop this brain strategy. this yes brain state.
Learn how to guide children to be in an open, yes brain state and tap into their own resources to face engaging and challenging situations with THE YES BRAIN, by New York Times bestselling authors Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. and Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D.
Our understanding of the human brain expands by the minute. Not that long ago we believed a thousand or fewer neural connections were made each second in a baby's brain. Now we know one million neural connections are made every second until the age of 3.
SYNOPSIS
Would you build an Ikea table without the instruction book? Probably not. Then why are we raising kids without knowing how their brain works? Isn't it nonsense?
Most of us know how to feed children in an healthy way, but what do we know about raising healthy brains? What kind of experiences are important to provide to children, how the brain learns. BRAINIOUS is a documentary that shares "neuro-knowledge" for parents and educators in order to help children thrive and reach their full potential.
If we really want children to master their lives we need to teach them how to handle their brains!
