Listen to the last episode:
In this episode we are going to try and answer the following questions: What is gratitude, and how does practicing it actually change your brain? We'll start with what gratitude is and why your brain naturally has a harder time noticing good things than noticing problems. Then, we'll explore what happens inside your brain when you feel grateful -- which parts light up, what chemicals get released, and why it feels the way it does. Finally, we'll look at how practicing gratitude creates new pathways in your brain, and what scientists have learned about how this changes over time. Grown-ups: we value your feedback. Our email and message link are in the episode notes—please send us your child’s questions and thoughts. Sleep Tight!, Sheryl & Clark ❤️👂📖 --- ✨ Want more stories and fewer interruptions?
