As a parent, have you ever wondered why your child can suddenly become anxious or afraid in certain situations? 🤔

The answer lies in their brain’s amygdala - the secret alarm system that helps us respond to threats.

In this video, we’ll help you understand how the amygdala works, why it can sometimes cause your child to overreact to perceived threats, and what you can do to help them manage their emotions. 💡

🧠The myth that we only use a small portion of our brain is a common misconception that has been perpetuated in popular culture for many years. 🤔

💡The idea behind this myth is that we have the potential to tap into unused areas of our brain, unlocking hidden talents and abilities.🧠

However, In reality, we use all parts of our brain, even when we’re sleeping. Every part of the brain has a specific function and is essential to our overall brain function. 🌝Even tasks that seem simple, such as breathing or blinking, involve multiple areas of the brain working together.

While it is true that some areas of the brain may be more active during certain tasks, this does not mean that the rest of the brain is inactive or unused. Brain imaging studies have shown that even seemingly mundane activities, such as listening to music or reading a book, activate multiple areas of the brain.

⚛️The idea that we only use a small portion of our brain is a myth that has been debunked by scientific research. Instead, we should focus on utilizing and strengthening all areas of our brain to improve overall cognitive function.

🔑 What does it mean when someone tells you, “our kids reflect back to us how we see them.”
⁠
🪞Our children need us to reflect back to them that they are good and lovable kids.

❔❓What does it mean to reflect back to them?

🔑The answer comes from neuroscience.
⁠
🧠Our brains have a specialized nerve cells called mirror neurons. These cells communicate person to person. ⁠ This communication doesn’t involve words. This way of communicating involves the feelings associated with facial expressions and body language.

🧠Mirror neurons literally reflect back to our child and communicate with them via our facial expression and body language. This communication is more powerful than what we say to them.

🌌This way of communicating mirrors the feelings that go along with the facial expression and body language between two individuals. When our words don’t match our facial expressions and body language our child (or other adults) may not hear our words, but their mirror neurons will hear our intent as it is expressed with our facial expressions and body language.

👉 This form of communication was explained by the neuroscientist Marco Iacoboni in a 2008 interview with Scientific American: When I see you smiling, my mirror neurons for smiling fire up, too, initiating a cascade of neural activity that evokes the feeling we typically associate with a smile. I don’t need to make any inference on what you are feeling, I experience immediately and effortlessly (in a milder form, of course) what you are experiencing. ⁠
⁠
📌 The same is true for negative emotions like anger, disgust, or fear.⁠

❓How do I get my kid to stop yelling? How do I get my kid to stop spitting? How do I get my kid to start sleeping through the night? How do I get my kid to put away their toys? These types of questions are some of the most common questions I hear from parents.

We can’t get someone else to do anything they don’t want to do. I know that feels like a frustrating and even hopeless response.

💡Instead of asking how do I…, maybe we need to ask a different or better question. When the question we ask doesn’t have a good answer, that may tell us we need to replace it with a better question.

💡Maybe we need to ask, what is going on for my kid that they can’t stop yelling? Another better question might be, what skills does my child lack that they aren’t putting away their toys? Maybe an even better question is, what does this bring up for me, and how can I change what I do so I can show up differently and provide the space my child needs to change? Or lastly, is my child developmentally ready to do what I am asking them to do?

❓Does that mean our kid's behavior is our fault?
No, our kid's behavior isn’t our fault.

When we engage in curiosity and start to wonder about the reasons under our child's behaviors, we are able to show up in ways that help our kids make better choices.

🧠Connect the Neurons:

Next time you can’t get your child to (fill in the blank). start with a better question. Maybe the question is, is there anything I can do differently to help my child make the changes I am asking him to make?

The behaviors that bother us probably don’t feel good to our child either. That change is what they may be looking for as well.
