Thinking Outside the Box

Sometimes people get stuck in a certain way of thinking. We see it all the way from international geopolitics down to kiddos refusing to eat their vegetables. It can be challenging to challenge someone else’s worldview - even in seemingly simple, small, harmless ways - in order to help them see the potential for joy and connection can be found when they step outside their box.

This is certainly the case when caring for disconnected children. Why is outside-the-box so difficult for them, and how can we care for them in a way that expands their ability to receive compassion?

In this episode of the Hunger for Connection, we dive into the neuroscience of small-box thinking and seek ways to help them stretch their boxes bigger.
