4 Everyday Habits That Secretly Damage Your Child’s Brain

Описание: Are you accidentally "rewiring" your child’s brain for failure? 🛑

In this eye-opening episode of Brainy Parenting, we expose 4 common, everyday habits that most parents think are harmless but are actually linked to lower IQ, attention deficits, and emotional instability.

From the "digital babysitter" in the car to the sugar rewards at the grocery store, we break down how these actions impact the "Golden Window" of neurological development. We aren't just talking about behavior; we are talking about the physical thinning of the cerebral cortex.

Host Jane dives into the neuroscience used by high-performing parents in Silicon Valley and Boston. You’ll learn why boredom is essential for "Executive Function," how irregular sleep leaves the brain "dirty," and how to swap dopamine-driven parenting for the expert-backed "Connect-First Method."

Key takeaways in this video:

The "White Matter" Crisis: What screens are really doing to language skills.

The Dopamine Loop: Why food rewards create future addiction.

The "CEO" Brain: Why over-scheduling kills problem-solving skills.

The 4-Week Brain Reset: A step-by-step plan to fix these habits starting today.

Don't let "easy" parenting now lead to "hard" challenges later. Give your child the gift of a resilient, high-functioning brain.
