11. Mankind enjoys “Play”

12. How Many Playing? How Many Involved?

13. Is Play Scientific?
● To Answer this question we need to understand the
biology of how our brain works and the role of various
“Happiness Hormones” in our mind and body.

14. Four Hormones which biologically determine
your happiness
● Dopamine: the joy of finding what you seek.
● Endorphin: the oblivion that masks pain.
● Oxytocin: the comfort of social alliances.
● Serotonin: the security of social importance

15. Is Play Scientific?
● Does Play release the “Happiness Hormones” Mentioned
Above? Yes They do!
● So children feel less aggressive/anxious, safe, calm and
psychologically strong, and are better able to learn.
● In Play, More Neurons fire which is important in the
development of new neural pathways.

16. Neurons that Fire Together Wire Together!

39. WHAT IS THE CONCEPT
OF “WHOLE BRAIN
CHILD”?

43. Take a while and think about
people(including yourself)
whom you have known who use
the left brain more often and
people who use the right brain
more often.

44. Use Right Brain more Often
-> Emotional Flood! Not able to
cope with emotions.
Use Left Brain More Often
->Emotional Desert! Less Empathy,
More Robotic
Both are Harmful!

45. Using only the right or the left
brain would be like trying to
swim using only one arm!

EXERCISE THE RIGHT
BRAIN MUSCLES?
