SIGNS OF STRESS:



































                    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).










































                               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.
