When our needs are not met so well
▪ There will always be times when our needs are
not met brilliantly. This is an inevitable part of life.
▪ When needs are not met well, stress
chemicals are released into the body.
Stress Chemicals
▪ In a healthy environment, the cause of the
stress is only temporary, and the stress
levels go back down again in the body.
▪ Learning to communicate this unmet need in
helpful ways, rather than react to it in
unhelpful ways (fight, flight, freeze), is key to
every child’s (and adult’s!) success.
