We wanted to share this interesting article from Dr. Dan Siegel with you all! This article discusses the characteristics of an integrated brain, and how this can be reflected in how a child builds their self-understanding from various challenges and situations in their life.It’s easy to understand why integration is so important. We use the acronym FACES to describe the characteristics of an integrated brain.
An interconnected, integrated brain, in which its many parts are working together as a coordinated and balanced whole, is more flex- ible, adaptive, coherent, energized, and stable. As a result, a child with an integrated brain will be better at handling herself when things don’t go her way. Instead of responding to the world from a position of reactivity, where she is at the mercy of her surroundings and her emotions, she’s more able to work from an attitude of receptiv- ity, willing and able to decide how she wants to respond to various situations and challenges. This is how children build self-understanding and an internal compass to guide them, with intrinsic goals and inner drive. That’s a Yes Brain mentality, and you can see why it allows kids to make better decisions, relate better to others, and understand them- selves more fully.
This and much much more in The Yes Brain, a book I co-wrote with Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D.
