Dr. James Doty, a Stanford neurosurgeon and neuroscientist, highlights how manifestation activates key brain networks responsible for salience, attention, and executive functioning. And what’s one of the best ways to support manifestation? Play!
Toys and games can help children develop positive self-beliefs, goal-setting habits, and problem-solving skills when paired with thoughtful guidance for parents. Incorporating these elements into learning guides and packaging inserts can turn playtime into an empowering experience.
