See a child differently and you will see a different child. Become a Mind Tools For Kids Coach!
Orla Owl looks after our thinking! She lives in the prefromtal cortex which is still developing all the way into adulthood. She helps us learn and reflect and loves to be creative, artistic and develop her logic.
Milo Monkey looks after emotions and short term memory. He is the reactive part of us that handles our feelings and emotional responses. He sets off our body's alarm system - the amygdala.
Lenny Lizard lives in the brainstem and runs the body. He is responsible for the most basic survival functions, such as heart rate, breathing, body temperature, and movement. We 'feel' our emotions as sensations within the body.
Imagine your brain as having 3 key parts. They function best when they work as part of a team -together as your Brilliant Brain Friends. Each of the Brain Friends plays an important part in helping us manage our body, emotions and thinking. When our Brain Friends are working well we are regulated, emotionally secure and able to think, process and learn.
Meet The Brain Friends!
