I think it is critical to identify and respect our own state dependence and to understand how our state may impact others. As, emotions are contagious, we can support others by helping to create calm or we can possibly encourage fear. Our school was recently on secure perimeter, the teachers calm demeanor helped soothe students who were in alarm. DL

The advise given from Dr. Perry is helpful. It just takes a minute to connect to a student. A knowing nod/wink, a quick hello using their name, etc.

Interesting Origins

Good background around the evolution and start of the mini maps. Would be great if our school used this tool on all students to get a visual of the teachers' class makeup. It would help to plan instruction and regulation.

Stress!

Stress is inevitable, has benefits and in some cases is needed.

Wow. Think of those who live in a stressful state or stressful circumstances constantly! Wow. I like the comparison to the 'epidemic'.

The Complexity of the Continuums

....So the continuums are not acting in an isolated way! Response to stressors can be complex. You could use any of the continuums and adaptive response simultaneously or you may respond dominantly in one continuum than another.

Case Study of Alexis

Analyzing Alexis' Mini Map to determine her needs. Sounds like relational strategies/skills and opportunities will benefit Alexis. Another suggestion: dosing Somatosensory opportunities throughout her day as well. Getting a clearer picture of the purpose/benefits to the mini map tool.

Dr Perry talks about about trauma can cause a cluster of symptoms which result in PTSD. The components of trauma include the 3 E's: "the event, the experience, and the effects". He states that someone with PTSD has 4 main symptom clusters. These are: intrusive symptoms, avoidant symptoms, changes in mood and thinking, and an alteration in arousal and reactivity. DL

Negative influences impact how the brain develops and how it functions. Use of the mini maps gives us helpful information to help the student, as it the mini map model identifies possible strenghts and challenges in the brain. DL

Stress can be positive, as it can help us prepare for challenges. Dr. Perry talk about when stress is moderate, predicatable and we having control, stress can create resilience. However if stress is prolonged, uncontrollable, extreme and prolongled, it is damaging. DL

I thought is was interesting that dissociation is the most common type of self regulation. That it is normal and common to go internal and external freqently. DL

Dr. Perry talks about how useful it is for a teacher to know the brain state of the child and the developmental stage. This information helps us to understand the brain order or organization. Having this knowledge would definitely help with development of class composition and increased compassion or understanding of the child. DL
