The Brain Playground
S1:E3 - Upside Down!
This episode helps kids explore how to pause, name a feeling, and see things from a new angle, especially when emotions feel big or confusing.
Guided by your brain bud, Izby, kids will:
- Practice identifying opposites through interactive wordplay (loud and quiet, clean and dirty, soft and hard)
- Learn a simple strategy for calming their brain when big feelings show up
- Move through imaginative contrasts in Topsy-Turvy Town (hot and cold, fast and slow, high and low, & heavy and light)
- Reflect with a grown-up on something that felt hard, and what helped it feel better
