Ten Ways to Build a Brilliant Brain

It may suit a child who enjoys practical tasks and wondering how everyday habits connect with the brain. The book also introduces neurodivergence and differing social needs.

Some advice is framed around improving brain function through habits such as sleep, food, movement, reading, rest and practice. A child may benefit from discussing which ideas feel realistic rather than treating them as rules.

Which activity or explanation made you curious, and how might people with different brains, personalities or social needs respond differently to the same suggestion?

Dip into one topic at a time, trying activities only when they appeal. Read the explanations alongside a child and distinguish general suggestions from choices that suit their circumstances.
