The importance of the emotional brain in our children

 

Your child's brain as a baby already has practically all the neurons it will have when it grows up. The main difference between your children's brain and yours is that yours has already developed trillions of connections (sympases) between neurons thanks to learning from its life experience.

In the brain of your son or daughter, the reptilian and emotional brain (located in the lower part of the brain) are the ones that take the lead, while in yours the rational brain also intervenes, located in the upper part of the brain, the of the brain that takes longer to mature.

The brain is made up of four parts, differentiating between the upper zone and the lower zone. The upper zone is a more evolved brain and gives us a broader perspective of life. Thoughts, imagination and planning are developed in this area. The lower brain deals with basic functions (such as breathing and blinking), innate reactions and impulses (such as fight or flight), and basic emotions (such as fear and anger). It is the most primitive area of the brain, which does not take into account the feelings of others.
