The documentary film features the work of the Momentous Institute, as well as many psychologists, researchers and mental health professionals offering valuable information parents can use to feed their children s minds for optimal health and learning. From understanding emotions within the brain to the importance of secure attachment, mindset and how to improve focus and learning abilities, Brainious covers a broad spectrum of subjects.
