How sand, potato flakes, and hot water can change your child’s life…
Do this with your kids today!
Did you know your brain is soft like butter, tofu, or custard? That’s right! The most important organ in the human body can be easily hurt by so many things in a kid’s life, such as:
- Falling down
- Sports and playground injuries (getting hit by a baseball, soccer ball, etc.)
- Being in a car or bike accident
When the brain is hurt—even if it’s a mild injury—it can create unnecessary long-term problems with:
- Lack of focus
- Anxiousness
- Mood issues
- Aggression
- Forgetfulness
- Learning challenges
Head trauma also increases the risk of alcohol and drug abuse, among other issues.
Nobody wants this for their child or students.
To help kids learn to love and protect their brains so they minimize the risk for head injuries and their many consequences, try this fun activity.
All you need is some sand, potato flakes, and hot water…
