Enthusiasm is a skill you can develop. It is a choice to appreciate and take delight in the small things. It amplifies what is important and grooves in new learning in your brain.

Today, we explore the relationship between the adult’s Enthusiasm (an internal response, different from external excitement), and awakening powerful neuroplasticity in the child’s brain, leading to t...

We’ve all heard the expressions “no pain, no gain” and “try harder,” expecting these ways to provide us with the desired outcomes.

In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss: how to give children with special needs the space and time to do what they can allowing children to do it on their own with limited assistance will allow them to kno...

We now know the enormous importance of the brain in everything we do. The good news is that the brain is “plastic,” meaning that the brain changes in response to its experiences.

In this podcast, Anat Baniel and Neil Sharp discuss: how Anat discovered that movement is the way to communicate with the brain the fundamental job of ...

It took Jill Bolte Taylor eight years to fully recover from her stroke. That was before she met Anat Baniel and discovered NeuroMovement® and the 9 Essentials.
