Growth Zones
A model to help children recognise how they respond to challenge
and learn ways to handle and even enjoy difficulty, seeing it as a road to growth.
▪ Some people don’t achieve their best because they freeze, fight or flight when faced with challenges.
▪ Noticing how we respond (link to the Affect & Stress Response models) is the first step towards change.
▪ Learning to stay in the right ‘Learning Zone’ & to tolerate and even enjoy the sometimes unpleasant feeling
of difficulty and challenge (good ‘green balloon stress’) is key to feeling capable and achieving our best.
