Why is emotional health essential to brain development, and what happens when kids aren’t taught how to recognize or manage their feelings? In this video, Linda Gorman, neuroscientist and Founder of Making Neuroscience Fun, LLC, explores the neuroscience behind emotional behaviors and how they shape our ability to cope, connect, and thrive.
Covering everything from emotional regulation and empathy to brain plasticity and hormonal changes, this talk dives into why helping kids build emotional intelligence is just as important as teaching them math or reading.
Part of the “Brain Health: It’s SPECtacular” program, this video offers educators and caregivers insight into how emotional development supports lifelong brain health — and what simple, science-backed steps can help young learners grow.
