When kids feel anxious, their brain hits the
🛑Panic Button -flooding their body with stress hormones that make them want to fight, flee or freeze.
Here's whats happening in their little body👇
💫Their brain (amygdala) detects a threat
💫Stress hormones (cortisol &adrenaline) floods the body
💫Heart races.
💫Tummy aches
💫Muscles tighten
💫Big emotions take over because their thinking brain is offline.
Your child doesn't need to calm down.
They need to feel safe enough to come back down💛
