S3 Ep 24: How Art (Even Doodling!) Supports Your Child's Development

How can doodling and daydreaming - when your child might otherwise be paying attention - be a good thing? How does art support our child's health? What skills do our kids acquire in art class that help them later in life?   This week, join me in conversation with Susan Magsamen, author of Your Brain On Art. She serves as executive director of the International Arts + Mind Lab, part of the Brain Science Institute at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She also co-directs the Aspen Institute's NeuroArts BluePrint.     Sponsored by KiwiCo: Get 50% off your first month on ANY crate line at kiwico.com/HUMANS.
