As a school counselor, I’m always looking for ways to support staff, students, and families. Teach the Brain, Change the World gives me language and activities I can share across all settings. I especially appreciate that each tool only takes a few minutes because we all know time is limited in schools.

Lyndsay’s daily tools for regulation, connection, and reflection grounded in brain research, are the only “IT,” tools that still work after attending my first Generation Wellness Training in 2019. They are the foundation of our classroom routines.

I was searching for standards based emotional and social strategies to incorporate when Lyndsay was our back-to-school keynote speaker. Her toolkit has changed how we move through our day, and what an extraordinary gift it has been to not only take small yet mighty “brain breaks,” but seamlessly and intentionally allow space, or as I like to say, “resets,” on behalf of taking care of ourselves in order for learning to be more focused and productive.

The shift from me leading breathing and movement tools, to facilitating student led favorites has improved our joy and this toolkit is IT!

Teach the Brain, Change the World is one of those books that every educator should have on their shelf. As a middle school special education teacher, I’ve found the strategies not only practical and research-based, but also flexible enough to use with students of all ages, even as young as TK.

What makes this book stand out is how it teaches us to focus on the skills kids truly need to navigate today’s fast-paced, ever-changing world. The tools aren’t just theory; they are clear, meaningful, and easy to integrate into everyday teaching. I’ve seen firsthand how they help students learn to regulate, connect, and grow!

This is the kind of resource that leaves a lasting impact on both teachers and students. It gives us the “how” for teaching the life skills that matter most. This book is rich with resources and is beautifully written and organized. LOVE everything about this book.

This quote from the book says it all. “The greatest way to world peace is through inner peace.”

Lyndsay Morris, M.ED, has skillfully crafted this versatile tool for school counselors, parents, and all who work with children and teens. As anxiety in our youth reaches an all time high and behavior challenges soar, this book can support us adults as we help our children and teens navigate these challenging times.

As a retired school counselor, parent and concerned human, I highly recommend Teach The Brain, Change The World.

It’s rare to find something so practical and research-based at the same time.

I’ve read dozens of parenting books and this is the first one that showed me how to teach my kids how to ‘calm down’ or ‘pay attention’ or 'communicate well'. The tools are simple, doable, and they work. It’s a must-read for anyone who works with kids or cares about their future.

If I had the tools provided in this book when my children were young, there would have been more peace and connection at home. Kudos to Ms. Morris for providing strategies for modern caregivers and educators!
