: This is when a child feels disconnected or shuts down emotionally. They might seem sad, quiet, or withdrawn. In this state, the child may have trouble responding to others or even showing emotion, as their body is trying to protect itself from feeling overwhelmed.
​The "Window of Tolerance" is a term created by Dr. Dan Siegel, a psychiatrist known for his work on the brain and emotions. It describes the range of emotional and physical states in which a person (child or adult) can think clearly, manage their feelings, and respond to situations effectively. When children are within this window, they can stay calm enough to talk things through and solve problems. However, when they are outside this window-either too upset or too withdrawn--it can be harder for them to communicate or manage their emotions.

​ Hyperarousal (Too Much Emotion) : This happens when a child is feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or angry. You might notice them being very emotional, upset, or restless. In this state, their body is filled with stress hormones, making it hard for them to think clearly or listen.

​ Hypoarousal (Too Little Emotion)
