Your brain is amazing! Check out these facts based on ideas from one of my favorite online sites www.biglifejournal.com 

  • The brain is always changing.
  • There are about 100,000,000,000 neurons in the brain (same as the number of stars in the Milky Way).
  • The brain produces enough electricity to power a light bulb.
  • The brain grows from challenging ourselves not from getting the ‘right answers’.
  • “When you exercise your brain, things that were difficult become easier.” [direct quote from big life journal]
  • Big Life Journal recommends this kids book about the brain: Your Fantastic Elastic Brain: Stretch It, Shape It written by JoAnn Deak
