En lo más profundo de la sede de la Pandilla Cerebrito vive Amy la AmÃgdala, el pequeño pero poderoso sistema de alarma del cerebro.
En Amy la AmÃgdala y la Alarma Exagerada, los niños descubrirán cómo el cerebro detecta el peligro y ayuda al cuerpo a reaccionar rápidamente. A veces Amy hace sonar la alarma para mantenernos a salvo, pero otras veces puede emocionarse demasiado y activarla, incluso cuando todo está bien.
Con rimas divertidas y situaciones con las que los niños pueden identificarse, este libro enseña que emociones como el miedo, la preocupación y la sorpresa nacen del intento del cerebro por protegernos. También muestra cómo las partes del cerebro encargadas de pensar pueden ayudar a calmar la alarma de Amy cuando suena con demasiada fuerza.
Como parte de la colección Think Like a Brain!(TM), esta historia combina neurociencia real con aprendizaje socioemocional, convirtiendo una parte del cerebro en un personaje amigable con el que los niños pueden identificarse.
Cada libro también incluye una GuÃa para Padres y Maestros, una explicación sencilla de Qué es la amÃgdala?, preguntas para conversar, actividades prácticas y recursos adicionales para seguir aprendiendo en casa, en el aula o en terapia.
Deep inside the Brainy Bunch headquarters lives Amy the Amygdala, the brain's tiny but powerful alarm system.
In Amy the Amygdala and the Overactive Alarm, children learn how the brain notices danger and helps the body react quickly. Sometimes Amy rings the alarm to keep us safe, but other times she can get a little too excited and sound the alert when everything is actually okay.
Through playful rhyme and relatable moments, young readers discover how feelings like fear, worry, and surprise come from the brain trying to protect us. They also learn that the thinking parts of the brain can help calm Amy's alarm when it rings too loudly.
Plus, every book includes bonus learning material: a Teacher and Parent Guide, a kid-friendly explainer, discussion starters, hands-on visual activities, and curated resources, giving grown-ups simple, science-backed ways to keep the learning going long after the last page.
