Good Night to Your Fantastic Elastic Brain - by Joann Deak & Terrence Deak (Hardcover)

About the Book

"When you go to sleep, what does your brain do? Does it rest too? It can't because it's busy working while you snooze! It repairs, and resets, and helps your body even when you aren't awake. Using up-to-date research to explore our brains' critical functions when we are asleep, psychology experts JoAnn and Terrence Deak invite kids (and adults) to unpack all the amazing things your brain is doing when you're not awake-and why it's so important to get your sleep!"--

Go to sleep and grow your brain!

During the day, your brain helps you do things like eat, walk, play with friends, and learn new things--and using your brain helps it stretch and get stronger. But did you know that you have the power to grow and train your brain just by going to sleep? In fact, while you're resting, your brain is doing some of its most important work!

Learn about the important jobs your brain does at night like:

• Locking in what you learned during the day
• Resetting itself so that it's ready when you wake up
• Even taking a bath to make sure it's clean and healthy!

Perfect for parents and educators, Good Night to Your Fantastic Elastic Brain is an excellent tool to teach kids about brain development, growth mindset, and the power of making healthy choices like getting enough sleep!
