Oh, The Places Your Body Will Go!
Summertime is a wonderful time to celebrate fun, freedom, and warm weather adventures – while learning about all the incredible things your body can do. From bike rides, soccer games, playground fun, hikes, and beach days – your body is built for adventure and exploration.
You’ve Got a Genius Inside You!
You experience life through your nervous system and your senses – watching a sunset, feeling the sun on your skin or the grass or sand beneath your toes – all of that is your brain and nervous system at work – feeling and perceiving life around you.
Then your brain interprets everything you see, taste, feel, touch, smell, hear, or sense – and categorizes them – as beautiful, warm, cool, safe, scary, fun, good, bad – and you develop memories, favorite things, and preferences based on what you feel in those experiences. Your brain is your control center – your Inner Genius – and we can make choices every day to help our brain experience things it loves – like time outside, deep breaths, the colors and sounds of nature, the sun, play and movement, and time with the people we love.
