The neuroscience of bravery: 3 keys to build brain circuits for courage and vulnerability
There are different types of danger that we deal with.
In order to help our immune systems not go into overdrive and deplete our resources, we need to know the difference between these types of fear. If we don't, we'll keep ourselves in a state of anxiety and stress...
As a species, we are at a crossroads. There are so many young people right now who are surrounded by parents, caregivers, teachers and leaders who themselves are 'dysregulated' - who do not know how to manage their emotions and deal with stress in healthy ways. This means that most humans do not have a role model for what self-regulation looks like on a daily basis.

Really simplistic and easy to understand video. The x------x diagram is a killer.
it is the best video I found so far to explain in a simple way to students of 10/11 years old how the brain works and how they can gain a growth mindset.
Thank you so much, Stefanie! Amazing explanations, visuals and exercises !!! I will definitely use these myself and in my teaching!
