Loveis the basis for original play and optimal learning. Children’s original play demonstrates that thissense of kindness is one of the most important discoveries in neuroscience; we are hardwired toconnect. A loving brain becomes serves as the basis both for our long range biological survival andfor our cultural advancement. Such a prosocial brain creates a different emotional framework andan alternative safe physical response with which to receive the world.
