Rewards and threats: how they shape a young brain

What is the science of rewards and threats to the brain, especially to the child’s brain? On this episode, I welcome Dr. Loretta Breuning, an author and Founder of the Inner Mammal Institute, to discuss :

  • How rewards and threats shape the young brain
  • How to build healthy reward pathways in your kids
  • Why yelling, pleading, and bribes can create reward systems and why we want to limit these things

 

Find out what The Inner Mammal Institute has to offer at InnerMammalInstitute.org and see Videos, podcasts, books, blogs, multimedia, a training program, and a free five-day happy-chemical jumpstart.
