The Brain - What we can learn - Trauma (Andrew Wilkinson)

• Take in what they’re going through into our selves
• Brain stem: Breaks every 45 -60 mins - run, walk, simple figure 8 etc.  Put these on the timetables.
• Cerebellum: dancing, yoga, martial arts, posture, balance, etc eating healthy foods drinking water.  When can these opportunites be?
• Limbic system: feelings and emotions
• Amygdala: fear - emotional storage, sensitive and reactive.
• Hippocampus: memory. Impacted by injuries and stress.

There should be the ability to be vulnerable, tap out and swap, ensure we support each other.

• Limbic system: yoga, deep breathing.
• Cerebral cortex: thinking, creative.  If all the rest are working then this functions.  Higher level thinking.

Memory games, wordsearches, puzzles, brain training, exercise, reading books.

We want our kids to leave in a better way than how they arrived.
