Behaviors are not the result of moral or personality flaws. They aren't signs of lack of willpower or bad character either. Behaviors are caused by neurochemical changes in the brain and can change based on your environment or experiences.
Positive loving environments can change these patterns in a positive way to make space for our brain to focus on things like exploration, play, learning, and cooperation.
In this episode Lauren walks us through the experiences, environment, thoughts, and events that can lead to different types of behaviors and the role that the nervous system plays in our responses and reactions.
Lauren answers this week’s listener question during the episode: How do I tell a student has reached their max stress for the day?
Try-at-home tip: Sauna/cold plunge
