Signs of Stress:


































                        Danger Brain:




































                         When stress chemicals are released, it gives a




















                         message to our brain that something is not ok.






























                        Our brain’s main job is to keep us




















                        alive so when it thinks something is



















                        going wrong, it goes into a mini




















                        survival response.







































                        Sometimes brains find it hard to tell the difference between a real threat



















                        (like being chased by a bear!) and not such a serious threat (e.g.




















                        wondering whether someone likes us as much as we like them or



















                        somewhere being too noisy for us).


































                        Our brain may react with a threat response even though we are not in



















                        real danger – we may just be finding maths hard or worried whether our




















                        friend likes us.
