Hypothesis of Izzy being tested with others: juggling acts sorta like EMDR, improving coping skill through alternative coordination of each brain side

Bad handwriting that reads: "Shi & Feng (2022) suggests that more motor skills equates with better cognitive function/development, so Izzy also learning to juggle, to improve low gross motor function" followed by a heart

Izzy has bad handwriting, but science say it good for brain! ✍️🏻 🧠
#psychology

There's a small heart drawn on the page too.

According to the CPI inflation calculator from bureau of labour studies, that 40¢ in 1938 is now equivalent of $9.26 😁
