About this listen

Come learn from The Whole Brain Child book about the downstairs brain and the upstairs brain to better understand your child, their development, and their reactive responses! The upstairs brain of pre-frontal cortex is the center for sound decision making and planning, controlling emotions and body, self-understanding, thinking before acting, empathy, and morality. No wonder it's difficult for our kids a lot of the times since their upstairs brain is under massive construction and is not fully developed until the mid-20s. Throughout our lifespan, our pre-frontal cortex is being wired and re-wired so there is hope for us all!
