How do our emotions influence the way we think, learn, and perform? And what do children understand about this connection?
About this Event

Join us for an engaging evening with a University of Toronto Professor in Developmental Psychology, whose academic background includes a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) and a Master of Education (M.Ed.) from Harvard University, specializing in Human Development, Education, and Mind, Brain, and Education.

Drawing on nine fascinating experiments, this talk explores how children between the ages of 5 and 10 understand the relationship between emotions, focus, and performance. Discover what young minds believe about feelings such as excitement, frustration, and nervousness, and how they think these emotions influence their ability to succeed at different tasks.

Expect surprising insights into childhood development, human behaviour, and the science of learning.

Come curious. Enjoy a drink. Leave with something new to think about.Come curious. Leave questioning.

An evening of big ideas, thought-provoking conversations, and intellectual curiosity — all in the relaxed atmosphere of a bar, with a drink in hand (whether it be a coffee or a alcoholic drink!). 🍷🧠
