The rational brain is the part of the brain that developed later at evolving and is involving and somehow controls the other two brains, the oldest and most instinctive.

The functions of the brain are the creativity, imagination, problem solving, reasoning and reflection, kindness, empathy, compassion, responsibility, etc..

It is this brain that differentiates us from other animals, which is what gives us the ability to reason (which is not simply think, because animals also think, but the ability to think about what we have thought or what we have done before.

It is therefore the brain that allows us to evolve as a species.

The three brain must interact

Once explained one might think the human brain is the command to be provided and must cancel the other two, which are more aggressive, instinctive and dangerous.

The truth is that the ideal is that all are in operation and to interact with the wise management of the rational brain, but allowing the emotional and reptilian brains “have a voice.”

If for example a child grows up with low self-esteem, for whatever reason, and based their learning and experiences in continuous armor to avoid being hurt, can finally stop listening to the mammalian brain as a defense mechanism, passing too rational to live a life with no ability to engage in relationships.

Similarly there is a risk of losing the ability to empathize. If we fight for individuality of our children if we teach them to compete too much to be always winners (and therefore the other losers), we can get off that part of rational brain that help to think of others and so the child does matter too much run out of other people upset.

It is for this reason must exist and coexist three brains, contributing their appropriate stimuli, but with the rational management of the brain that sometimes we may disconnect at will rest for a while (a while watching programs from the heart or “El Diario” , for example, is a perfect exercise not to think – at the risk of attempting to disconnect the leads to the loss of a neuron, for how bad they are such programs – play something, feel emotions, touching, hugging, … .) It depends on us how to develop your human brain

A few months ago Eduard said in its program Punset networks ideal is that children are raised by their parents until age six. He did not say just because, or because you think women have to be at home taking care of the children (it has been crossed several times macho), but did so with children in mind.

Those first six years form the stage at which the human brain develops the most part and is the most critical both for good and for bad.

The type of parenting we offer and our responses to their actions and reactions (probably driven by their reptilian and mammalian brains) will influence the way you learn to use the rational brain.

The more comprehensive and more we help them manage their “problems”, they better learn to manage themselves. The more damage they do in the form of physical or verbal abuse in the form of abandoned or ignored, the more we can damage your self-esteem and emotional brain and more time will be the rational brain concerned with “acting” to balance those needs (”I find it hard to love and give everything, but I pretend that I love and give it all “).
