a veteran social worker and golden-haired prince of a man with the quickest smile in the city of Chicago. I remember the first time I expressed my fears to him about the job I was doing. Instead of a furrowed brow and the serious leaning-in response...
I was about 18. We owned a kennel. One morning my dad came in from doing the morning kennel rounds with a deeply furrowed brow. Dad (in his thick Czech accent): ‘You know… the strangest thing just happened.’ ‘I was opening up the kennel, and when I did, the dogs, they starte...
You see these muscle movements—in the lips, around the eyes, and in the brow—when people are feeling aggressive, threatened, or frustrated. Researchers think we make this expression when we’re angry because it could protect the face in a physical conflict—for example, the furrowed eyebrows...
The new investigative tools demonstrate that kids know more than they can say: when we scratch beneath the surface, we find a fledgling understanding of relations and perspectives that Piaget probably did not dream of.Old ways have value, too...
