Is a story just a way to fall asleep, or is it a blueprint for the human mind? 📚🧠

In this episode, we explore how narratives build the foundation of child psychology. From developing empathy to understanding complex moral structures, stories are the most powerful tool we have for shaping how the next generation perceives reality.

We discuss:

- 🔬 Narrative Transportation: How the brain 'lives' the story.

- 🧠 Empathy & Mirror Neurons: Walking in a character's shoes.

- 🤝 Moral Scaffolding: How fables teach complex social rules.

- 🚀 Cognitive Development: Building vocabulary and imagination through fiction.

Understanding begins with why.
