Signs of Stress Answers

1. When our 5 C Needs are not met well, one of 3

things may happen:

I. We may have the Executive Function Skills to manage

II. We may not have the skills and try to meet our needs

(subconsciously) in any way possible – not necessarily

in a very helpful way.

III. We may not have the skills to manage a stressor and

experience a stress response (fight/flight etc.)
