When I think of learning, I tend to naturally think of the brain. I am impressed with the brain’s incredible power for change. Some say infinite power for change. Certainly the neuro-scientists are surprising us nearly every day now, with revelations regarding the changes the brain makes when it is learning. And of course it is learning all the time. These brain scientists tell us that the “neuronal circuits” are developing new electrical pathways, which seems a somewhat familiar concept, somewhat analogous to a computer being able to do things differently when we add new software. However, the brain scientists are now telling us that the actual structure of the brain changes with new experiences. The actual structure of the brain itself changes. Think of it! Ongoing new experiences re-structure our brains in an ongoing process.

Makes you want to be more careful about what new experiences you are giving yourself, eh? If you are giving yourself non-helpful new experiences and this is helping re-structure your brain in negative ways, how is this going to help your future self?

On the other hand, if you are giving yourself (and others) helpful new experiences, this positive action will help your future self (and others) in ways you have not dreamed of . . . yet.

So let’s get on with “doing the right thing” and stop with the “self-destruct” button, eh?

Your brain will love you for it.

So will your friends.

Love and Blessings,

Doc

Needless to say, anger gets in the way of learning in schools, for the student in question, and also for other students. Teachers sometimes need help with anger management for themselves also. We all do, to some extent. I sent a teacher who asked me about anger management in his school the following:

Further response to the reader question about how to activate RSS for docmeek.com.

My friend Madi says RSS = Really Simple Syndication, and it is really true to its name. Thank you, Madi. You’re a gem!

Madi, do you have a website so we can visit you?

You will notice at the very bottom of docmeek.com’s page ( within the footer ) there is the following text “THE LEARNING CLINIC WORLDWIDE is proudly powered by WordPress Entries (RSS) and Comments (RSS). “

WordPress is a great tool, I use it myself, and as you can see – it has already set up your RSS.

Your readers need only click the “ENTRIES (RSS)” Link.

Or, you can direct them to this link:  https://docmeek.com/feed/

From there they choose how they want to receive the updates, and that is that!

I’d also like to take this opportunity to mention that I build and design professional blog pages. If you’re ever interested in spicing up the look and feel of your page – give me a shout.

Hopefully this information helps!

Take care!
