MindShift: What Happens to Your Brain When You Make a Mistake?
Making a mistake can trigger a cascade of emotions that get seared into your brain. What you do with those feelings can set you back or put you on a course for a deeper understanding of yourself and those around you. Parents, caregivers and educators are in a unique position every day to be examples for young people; how adults respond to mistakes can help influence the next generation. Join us for interactive games, conversation and tips about the science and social importance of learning from our mistakes.
