Marie Weller and Paula Vertikoff are on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate their debut #Childrens #PictureBook Cranium Critters. Our guests tell us that in Cranium Critters: Paws at the Pause Place, children will meet Scout and Einstein, two lovable characters who represent different parts of the brain. Scout is the brain's safety pup, who is always on the lookout for potential danger and sends out alerts to the rest of the brain when she detects a threat. Einstein is the brain's head thinker and problem solver, responsible for thinking and decision-making. Through the adventures of Scout and Einstein, children will learn about the importance of the amygdala and prefrontal cortex in keeping us safe and helping us think and make decisions. They will also learn about the brain's fight, flight, and freeze response and how to manage their own "safety pups" when they misinterpret new information and become anxious. The book includes helpful suggestions for calming techniques, making it a valuable resource for parents and educators.   Click here to visit Marie and Paula's website – www.craniumkidsmedia.com Click here to visit our website – www.readingwithyourkids.com
