Hand Model of Your Brain Poster (Printable)
The hand model of the brain, developed by Daniel Siegel, is a way to visualise the different parts of the brain and how they interact with each other. The upstairs brain refers to the thinking part of the brain, responsible for decision-making and rational thinking. The downstairs brain refers to the more primitive and reactive part of the brain, responsible for our emotional responses and automatic functions, such as breathing and heart rate.
Our Hand Model of Your Brain poster is designed to illustrate how the upstairs and downstairs brain work together - with the upstairs brain influencing the downstairs brain and vice versa, to create cohesive and adaptive behaviour. This model helps to show children how the different parts of their brain work together to produce behaviour and responses.

+ UNRAVELLING THE WONDERS OF NEUROSCIENCE WITH THE HAND MODEL OF THE BRAIN POSTER
Exploring the Harmony of Cognitive Functions for Comprehensive Brain Understanding
The mind is a vast and complex universe where cognition and emotions intertwine in a seamless dance. The Hand Model of the Brain poster serves as a guiding beacon, leading young learners through the intricate workings of their brains. It presents a clear and accessible overview of key brain functions that govern a person's thinking and emotional responses.
Drawing on the insights of Daniel Siegel, our poster is a valuable tool for parents, educators, and those keen to understand the brain's mechanics. It carefully explains the concepts of the 'upstairs' and 'downstairs' brain, shedding light on their distinct yet interconnected roles.
Illuminating the Interplay of Cognitive and Emotional Processes
Central to the Hand Model of the Brain poster is its aim to clarify the brain's dual processes. Engaging with this model, children embark on an educational journey. They learn about the delicate balance between logical thought and instinctive emotions, gaining insight into their reactions and decision-making. This understanding encourages deeper self-awareness and equips them to use both aspects of their brain effectively, improving emotional regulation and decision-making skills.
Moreover, our poster serves as an enduring reference, continually reinforcing key neuroscience principles. As children grow, they can revisit these concepts, ensuring a deep and lasting understanding that shapes their daily behaviour and actions.
