At 9 years of age, Simon* is highly gifted and very sensitive. However, recently he has been showing aggressive outbursts so much so that other kids refuse to play with him. His loving and passionate parents became very concerned when he was expelled from school.

What if this alarming behavior could be understood as a cry for help that might sound like

• "I am bored out of my mind"
• "I need something bigger and more exciting to do".
• "School is too slow for me."
• "My life is too small"....

I observed him playing with several toys in rapid sequence; however, he assigned a role to every toy and interacted with it as if it would be a placeholder for a person or a feeling.

"That is what happens when he acts up!' commented his mom. Simon* seemed to be in his element. "Would you like to start an acting class?" I asked him. He looked at me with a bright smile "YES!!!!"

You see, as we play, we relax. When we relax, we go deeper and bypass our conscious mind, enabling us to activate imagination and intuition.

The picture shows Play Circuits and how they lighten up the entire Neocortex, starting from the Limbic System in the center of the brain. Play is a biological drive of the brain just like the drive for food and sleep .

Did you know that learning as a strictly mental tool requires up to 400 repetitions to create lasting neural pathways? If you include play, it takes 4. Play based learning is 100 times more powerful than traditional learning!

In a playful way Simon's* cries for help showed his hidden desire and genius for acting that called for manifestation!

How does this apply to your situation?
