And when you think about it, children's brains and adults' brains were not meant to sit for extended periods of time, you know, taking in information and also producing, especially if information isn't engaging.
And so the reason why the wiring and the different types of wiring are so important is that brains respond to information based on the way it's presented in two main ways: an emotional connection and a level of engagement.
So if you're teaching a child something and an adult, if you're teaching somebody something that they already know, their brain is going to be naturally less engaged, first of all.
Second of all, if if the information is not meeting the level of engagement, either if it's too high or too low, you're going to get low motivation.
So the point we look at different types of brain wiring and different types of the way the brain really responds has to do with creating a high level maximal engagement.
So for example, we know kids that are gifted that if they are being taught rote information and it's not meaning their leveled, they're
are not gonna be motivated in class.
Whereas if you give them work that's meeting their level, then they are going to thrive.
The other thing that I really think we do a major disservice to is our children who are on the autism spectrum.
There's so many different mistakes that we make in the fact that
Children on the spectrum and adults have very different communication and production styles.
And when we don't take that into account in life, um, not just in the educational system, we can really miss their natural gifts, talents, and abilities because they
really communicate differently than us.
And so we have to kind of step outside of ourselves and really inquire what's going on in that neurouniqueness.
How is that individual able to convey and share information?
And how can we help them kind of nurture their natural strengths and show us what their gifts are?
And so that's why the brain wiring really matters when we think about it.
And even when you think about children who
You know, or diagnosed with ADHD, you know, they tend to be highly creative.
Um, they can manage a lot of information at once.
