Session 2:  Day Two  We looked at how messages are sent by the brain through the nerve cells to all parts of the body.  These messages are sent by chemicals from one neuron to another and this happens amazingly fast.  Just do any "quickness" type of activity like raising your hand on a given cue and see how fast you can accomplish this.  Did you know that thousands of chemical messages had to be sent for that to occur, and you didn't even have to think about them!!  Tell me that we don't have a God with amazing creativity and order!

We then discussed how the various areas of the brain control certain functions.  Ask your daughter if Mrs. Faulkner scared her today!!  I demonstrated for them how the hormone adrenaline is secreted and activated in the brain to prepare us for "fight or flight".   If our brains are so complex and wonderfully made, we want to make sure the girls know that taking drugs can damage it.
