@dr.eric.hansen: 🎮 Mario Brothers & Brain Power 🧠 If you or your child struggle with focus or impulse control, this one’s for you. 🧩 Research shows that playing Mario Brothers for 30 minutes a day for 2 months can actually change your brain for the better. 🧠 Increases in: • Right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex – better attention, impulse control + planning • Right hippocampus – improved memory • Cerebellum – sharper coordination and movement 🎯 But here’s the catch — it only works if there’s frustration. That means no save points — just a few lives to push through the challenge. 💪 That bit of frustration helps build resilience and strengthens brain connections. So next time someone says video games are bad — tell them Mario’s just training your brain. 🧠✨ #brainandbodyhealth #primitivereflexes #drerichansen #reflexintegration #childdevelopment #parentingtips #melillomethod #healthykids
