You Are Who You Eat Lunch With
You are who you eat lunch with. Emotions are contagious. There is an actual science behind this contagion of emotions. When we catch someone else’s emotions, we can thank our mirror neurons, (or our empathy neurons, as we like to call them). Educators tend to have an abundance of these neurons at our disposal -we are especially empathetic people! We talk about how this impacts our work with kids in our book, Connecting Through Conversation: A Playbook for Talking with Students. Turns out, it is just as important to be aware of our mirror neurons when we think about the educators we work with!
