Help children understand that, when our 5C Needs are not met, our brain senses danger.
The brain then reacts with a threat response – even when there is not a real danger (like thinking the teacher does not like us).
Under threat, our brain gets ready for fight, flight or freeze. We become more alert, rigid, impulsive and
emotional. The energy-greedy pre-frontal cortex turns down; it is harder to process and remember information.
