25 Reframing NOT Thriving

26 Misbehaviour vs. Stress Behaviour Misbehaviour Blue brain ra,onal state! Blue brain directs the energy resources.! Behavior or ac5on was an inten5onal choice Stress Behaviour Red brain limbic state! Red (Limbic) brain directs the energy resources! has limited capacity to act differently Stress behaviour results from the stress backpack outweighing resources.

27 Stressors in My School Ac,vity

28 5 Self- Reg Domains: Stressors Biological Noises, crowds, too much visual s-mula-on, not enough exercise, lack of sleep, junk food Emotion Strong emo-ons, both posi-ve (over- excited) & nega-ve (anger, fear) Cognitive Difficulty processing certain kinds of informa-on Social Difficulty picking up on social cues, or understanding effect of behaviour on others Prosocial Difficulty coping with other people s stress; sense of injus-ce (may include misinterpre-ng stress behavior as misbehavior)

33 Examples of Red Brain Parenting Yelling Humilia-ng Threats we don t mean Rou-ne chaos Losing our temper Giving it to make it stop

34 Take Some WE TIME INTENTIONAL -me together daily 15 minutes minimum is suggested for this. There is no right or wrong way to do WE TIME as long as it is pleasurable for everyone.

40 Take-Aways to Try Priori-ze sleep, yours as much as your child s Set Boundaries When you say no feel good about it. Then help your child through the strong emo-ons Forget the I Shoulda Coulda Wouldas Ask Why and Why Now, then go Stress Detec-ng Model Oops

41 Self- Reg Self- Control Self-Control focus With a self- control focus we: expect children to be in blue brain states expect children to inhibit impulses, suppress emo-ons, and manage behaviors With a Self- Reg focus we: Self Reg focus Recognize blue brain and red brain states effect ability to demonstrate self- control Recognize that when self- control is not available we ask why and why now and reduce stressors at root of learning, mood, and behaviour challenges
