The Mysterious World of Neurons
- What are neurons and how do we make connections between our neurons? Think of an example where you made some new connections in your brain. What were you doing?
- What can you do this week to make some new connections? Set one specific goal.
- What did you do today to make connections between your neurons?
- What is one big challenge you’ve faced that has helped grow your brain?
Mojo Puts It All Together
- What does it feel like when something is too challenging? Is it wrong that we feel this way?
- What kind of attitude should you take on when facing a challenge, and why is that important?
- When taking on a challenge, it’s okay to ask for help or to take a break to reflect, like Mojo did! Does this mean you aren’t growing your brain anymore?
- Sometimes when we are working on a challenging task, we may think, “just try harder.” Is there a way to change this phrase?
- What are some strategies you can use when facing a big challenge, so that you don’t burn out?
- Brainstorm phrases you can use to keep you going when facing a challenge (e.g., “Nice effort trying to solving that math problem!”).
- Think of your life right now, what is a BIG challenge you want take on? What is something you can do today to work towards that challenge?
