Course Description:
The authors of this course offer a revolutionary approach to child-rearing with twelve key strategies that foster healthy brain development, leading to calmer, happier children. The authors explain – and make accessible – the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures. The “upstairs brain,” which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction until the mid-twenties. And especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate a child’s brain and foster vital growth.
Complete with age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day struggles and illustrations that help you to explain these concepts to children, this course shows you how to cultivate healthy emotional and intellectual development so that children can lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives.
Learning Objectives:
- Evaluate the integration of a child’s left brain and right brain to help the child connect both the logical and emotional selves
- Delineate the importance of connecting the instinctual “downstairs brain” with the more thoughtful “upstairs brain”
- Evaluate processes for helping a child deal with painful events from the past by focusing on the importance of understanding
- Evaluate how to teach children that they have the capacity to pause and reflect on their own state of mind
- Summarize ways to teach children about the happiness and fulfillment that result from being connected to others
