These "feeling face" cards tone up a seven-year-old's emotional self-awareness; they connect the word for a feeling with its image, and then with their own experience. That simple cognitive act has neural impact: the brain's right hemisphere recognizes the feelings depicted, while the left understands the name and what it means.
Emotional self-awareness requires putting all that together via cross-talk in the corpus callosum, the tissue that connects the brain's left and right sides. The stronger the connectivity across this neural bridge, the more fully we can understand our emotions.
Being able to name your feelings and put that together with your memories and associations turns out to be crucial for self-control. Learning to speak, developmental psychologists have found, lets children call on their inner don't to replace the voice of their par ents' in managing unruly impulses.
As a duo the stoplight and the feeling cards build two synergistic neural tools for impulse control. The stoplight strengthens circuitry between the prefrontal cortex-the brain's executive center, just behind the forehead-and the midbrain limbic centers, that cauldron of id-driven impulses. The feeling faces encourage connectivity across the two halves of the brain, boosting the ability to reason about feelings. This up-down, left-right linkage knits a child's brain together, seamlessly in tegrating systems that, if left to themselves, create the chaotic universe of a three-year-old.5
In younger children these neural connections are still budding (these brain circuits don't finally finish maturing until the mid twenties), which explains kids' zany, sometimes maddening antics, where their whims drive their actions. But between ages five and eight, children's brains have a growth spurt in their impulse con trol circuits. The ability to think about their impulses and just say "no" to them makes third graders less wild than those boisterous first graders down the hall. The Seattle project's design took full dvantage of this neural building boom.
