When a Child's Brain Is Growing, It Does Not Always Look That Way
The meltdowns, the shutdowns, the moments that seem to come from nowhere. These are often not setbacks. They are signs of a brain actively reorganizing and building new emotional circuits. Dr. Lucinda Sisk, developmental neuroscientist and Yale Ph.D., explains what this means for the children in your life and exactly what caring adults can do to support it.
