Behavioural sciences

Alright kiddo, you ever wondered why Auntie Karen likes to organize her closet by color or why Uncle Bob always bites his lip when he's nervous? Or maybe you've wondered why some people are friendly and happy-go-lucky while others are grumpy and mean.

Well, there are some smart people in the world who study these kinds of behaviors and try to understand them. They are called behavioral scientists.

They look at how our brains work and how we act and react in different situations. They try to figure out why we do what we do and how we can change our behavior if we want to.

See, our brains are like powerful computers, and sometimes they can get a bit buggy, just like a computer can. And when our brains get a little wonky, it can make us act in ways that may not make sense or may not be helpful.

But behavioral scientists use their knowledge to help people understand themselves better and make changes to be happier and healthier. They work with people who want to quit smoking or lose weight or be less anxious.

So, in a nutshell, behavioral sciences is all about understanding why people act the way they do and how we can help them change their behavior for the better.
