Would not recommend

Unsure who the audience of this book really is.. I bought it as an educator of students with learning challenges and was thinking it would be a great tool for teaching growth mindset. Instead, it has hundreds of words, crammed pages full of information, basically, not child friendly at all. Even to read to them, they would lose engagement as the book lists all of the regions of the brain and their responsibilities. Things I learned in college neuropsychology class.
