Spirit of the Child

The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm.

Aldous Huxley

“Neuroplasticity is the brain’s capacity to continue growing and evolving in response to life experiences,” according to Psychology Today . While the brain undergoes most changes during childhood, “modern research has revealed that certain regions of the brain, particularly the hippocampus, are capable of generating new cells throughout adult life.” Is there a way to promote this growth? Yes! Go out an play – positive physical activity is one of the best ways to keep that spirit of the child alive (neuroplasticity) well into adulthood.
