My kids are into a Netflix show called Brainchild, which tries to demystify or explain common human behaviors and phenomena using a mix of comedy and science in a way kids can learn from and relate to. One episode on germs, for example, explains that there really is no such thing as the “five-second rule” when you drop food on the floor. Another takes on emotions and demonstrates how things like music in a movie can affect how we respond to what we see on screen. My favorite episode is about creativity. It features social experiments, including one in which four artists are asked to create a logo for a freestyle rapper before and then after trying to freestyle rap themselves. They are all hilariously terrible at it, but their artistic efforts after they try freestyling are better because freestyling helped stimulate the parts of the brain where creativity resides. I loved that episode because watching it made me think about my own creativity, which is not something I do often.
