Like you, I was well into adulthood before I realized how the thoughts I kept repeating so deeply affected my outlook and actions. Since my son is only three, for now I am mostly working on helping him identify and name his feelings, as well as making inferences about how other people might be feeling (family, story book characters, etc.)

too true — go, hippies!

Yes, it’s exciting and powerful. I’m just reading Emotional Intelligence 2.0 with my 13 year old and it ties in the brain science with EQ as well. Love that!

Kids have so much coming at them every day, between peer pressure and wanting to be loved and accepted by their family, it can be difficult to keep a positive attitude.

It’s sad to see some kids self sabotage themselves. They want to belong, but feel like they are failing, when they should be celebrating their individuality.

We are learning so much about the brain, it’s exciting to see what was once considered something just for hippies, is now science-based. Of course, a lot of those hippies went on to discover all of this for us!
