Problems with self-regulation during children’s early development can be a risk factor for the development of:• developmental disorders

• internalising problems

• externalising problems

• personality disorders

• memory disorders

• alcoholism

• risky behaviours

• obesity

• diabetes and cancer

• coronary heart disease

• immune system disorders such as asthma, allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis

We don’t just want to change the consequence of

the stress (the behaviour);

We want to go “upstream”, identify the stressors, and

then reduce the stress load.

Going Upstream… “Behaviour is what is happening downstream.”

(Dr. Ross Greene)

Where does all my energy go?

What replenishes your energy?

What drains your energy?

Stress

Anything that requires the body to burn energy in order to keep a system in

its optimum functioning range.

Self-Reg

A method for understanding

stress and managing energy and tension

to promoteself-regulation.

“If a student is having trouble learning, then there is some stress going on, and that is

changeable. A key part of our job in education is tuning into what is stressing the student –not only major or “toxic” stress, but also everyday stressors and

hidden sensory, social and cognitive stressors – and

reducing the stress so the child can get into “learning brain.”

(Dr. Stuart Shanker)

Hidden Stressors

“Hidden stressors are things that cause the child to burn energy without her realizing that this is happening. The world of children and teens

today is filled with such hidden stressors.”

Developmental IcebergContributions to Behaviours

• Neuro-ception• Trauma• Emotions• Physiological Needs• Quality and Quantity of Sleep • Differences in Brain Wiring

• Motor/Movement Functioning• Physical Sensations (including but not

limited to pain)• Procedural (sub-conscious) Memories • Sensory Processing and Integration

(including auditory and language processing)

• Internal Indicators of Stress and Stress Recovery (such as heart rate variability)

• Observable Behaviours• Birth and Medical History • Chronological Age• Communication

• Objective Information • Family’s Cultural Identity • Parenting Beliefs • Religious Practices

• Physiological State • Faulty Neuro-ception• Emotional Responses (Shame or

Embarrassment)• Stress Response (Fight, Flight, Freeze)• Adaptations to Sensorimotor or

Processing Preferences • Physical Pain or Discomfort• Thoughts or Ideas

The Child or Environment’s Fault

• Purposefully Misbehaving• Attention Seeking• Oppositional• Inconsistent Discipline• Testing Limits

Adaptation to One’s Unique Differences

• Lazy• Defiant• Avoidant • Poor Parenting• Intellectual Disability

We have built a world that no longer fits our bodies. Our genes - selected through our evolution - and the many processes by which our development is tuned within the womb, limit our capacity to adapt to the modern urban lifestyle. There is a mismatch. We are seeing the impact of this mismatch in the explosion of diabetes, heart disease and obesity. But it also has consequences in earlier puberty and old age. Bringing together the latest scientific research in evolutionary biology, development, medicine, anthropology and ecology, Peter Gluckman and Mark Hanson, both leading medical scientists, argue that many of our problems as modern-day humans can be understood in terms of this fundamental and growing mismatch. It is an insight that we ignore at our peril.
