Today is National Train Your Brain Day—it’s usually a day to remind everyone to push themselves just a little bit harder—like by solving puzzle or playing a game. Why not train our brains a bit to change the way we see our world? I’m learning first hand that one small change to a child’s brain could change the way they think, change their point of view, how they compute problems, and even the way they see you. 📖 We got this wonderful storybook Guion the Lion by Rebecca Wilson Mascovits. It’s a story about a lion named Guion who takes his friend Rae the bush baby on an amazing adventure through thought and imagination. Guion shows Rae that sometimes if you just squint yours a little and tilt your head, your ordinary view can become extraordinary. There is a quote at the end of the book by Dr. Wayne Dyer, “Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.” This quote gives me hope. This book made me open my eyes more. If we all trained our brains to be more positive, to be more open minded, then maybe the world would be more...colorful. Just like Guion. 📚 I highly recommend Guion the Lion! Mascovits wrote Guion the Lion and brought her son, Guion’s own story to life through this magical adventure. Guion has Down syndrome and sees the world in a different way. She shows that even though his point of view is different than others, it doesn’t mean we all can’t enjoy the magic of his world.
