Julie Mendenhall is back and joined by Colleen Roahrig to discuss “Helping our children understand these words: Stuck, Shift and Think. These words can easily be taught to children to help them to understand what is going on with their brain. Julie has helped children understand that they are in charge of their brain and that it is very important that they take care of their brain. You can use these terms with all ages and even with very young children.
If you are interested in more information on this topic, Julie Mendenhall has written a book titled “Sunny Shifts his Brain” a guided read to share with children and help them understand how important their brain is.
