In this episode, we explore the magic of music and how we can use it to make new and unique neural connections in the brain to increase our children's ability to learn.  Ben and Anna's positive energy and love for children comes through in their music.  And we're thrilled to share it with you in this episode.

In this episode, we really look at how something as simple as how we breathe can impact the life we live, the freedom we experience, and the relationship we have with our children. We explore: How breathwork can positively affect the nervous system. How we can use breathwork to be better parents while helping our children better cope. How we can use breathwork to help our children be more present within themselves, feel less anxiety, and focus more on the tasks at hand. Mary provides easily accessible tools to implement immediately with our children and, perhaps more importantly, within ourselves. I hope you enjoy! And, let me know what you think.

And what did you say about an orange, snags in your sweater, belief patterns, pregnancy and babies?

Sylvia Shordike introduces us to her company NeuroHorizons and how working with neuroplasticity can positively impact our children. She discusses how using movement to communicate with the brain and our child’s nervous system allows the child to make new connections, which is neuroplasticity. All of this helps a child more fully understand who they are as a growing, loving, curious human being. In order to make a difference for a child when they don’t develop as easily as a typical child, we ...
