I’m a professor and researcher who writes about and investigates the theories, science, and real-world attempts to build and strengthen neural pathways in children’s brains. When our daughter developed PANDAS, an autoimmune reaction that scrambled the pathways her brain, it brought us to our knees. Once I accepted the only way to teach her how to reprogram her own brain was to experiment on myself, things got interesting. In a good way. I tried to write it all down while it was fresh in my head, so anybody else on a similar journey could see how hilariously easy it is to fail, fail again. It’s the fastest way to the first 1%. Whatever that means for you.
