When a child’s nervous system is out of whack, it’s like a storm brewing inside them. They can’t focus. They can’t control their emotions. They’re stuck in fight, flight, or freeze mode, reacting to every challenge like it’s a life-or-death situation.
This isn’t something they can “just outgrow” or “just learn to manage.” It’s something they need help with.
You have to regulate the nervous system in order for them to pay attention, learn and be calm.
