Ever noticed that you can message, scroll, or game all day — and still feel a bit lonely?

In this video, we explore how our brains respond differently to online connection versus face-to-face connection, using simple neuroscience and relatable examples for primary students.

You’ll learn:

Why online connection gives quick dopamine hits

How face-to-face connection releases oxytocin

How oxytocin helps calm the body, lower stress, and build a sense of safety

Why real connection feels more satisfying than screens alone

Simple, everyday ways to build healthy connection

Using a kid-friendly snacks vs homemade meal analogy, this video helps students understand that online connection isn’t bad — it just does a different job to the connection our brains are designed for.

Parents and carers

Anyone wanting to understand connection, belonging, and the brain
