Nathan Wallis – Understanding Your Brain Presentation
This is a new presentation by Nathan Wallis – New Zealand’s renowned Neuroscience Educator!
Understanding Your Brain: Building Resilience and Maximising Learning.
This event will be held on Wednesday 6th December 2023, 7:30pm to 9:00pm in the Performing Arts Centre at Ōtūmoetai College.
The concept of building resilience in our children is more and more at the forefront of parents’ minds. Academic success is in fact a result of resilience and can mean very little without it. In this summary of the evidence and research around what resilience looks like, how it’s fostered and which environments do it the best, Nathan will break down for parents (in his usual ’straight from the hip’ humourous style) exactly what we can do to facilitate our children developing resilience, increase their academic ability and enjoy an overall better quality of life. We will look at how our brains work as a basis for understanding how to achieve this. Relevant to parents/carers for all age groups – from newborns to teens!
