In this episode, I talk with Anna Housley Juster, an expert in early childhood education, psychology, and clinical social work. Anna has done incredible things in her career, including serving as a content director for Sesame Street. She recently published a children's book called How to Train Your Amygdala that explains how this part of the brain works in a fun, engaging way.

Our conversation covers the brain-body connection, practical ways to help children practice mindfulness and breathing, and the critical importance of play. Anna shares tips for implementing playful activities into your daily routine, even if you only have 10 minutes to spare. Learn how to help your child - and yourself - better understand and manage the brain's threat response system.
