o2 sides that work in harmony
o3 functional areas in 1 organ
o4 lobes with a variety of functions
oConscious and unconscious brain
The Frontal Lobe is stimulated by the emotional environment through ‘Mirror Neurons’.
‘A young person’s brain will copy the brainwave pattern of a close, significantsignificant adult’
SIGNIFICANCE FOR EI WITH TEENS:- Good, strong, positive relationships necessary- Adults should be calm for children to be calm- Care should be taken for peer mentors (18+)
KEY MESSAGE WITH TEENS:-How we react to antisocial behaviour can increase shame and force a brain downshift, thus potentially making the behaviour worse.

-EL of adults is equally important to that of children the neural connections of the pupils.
