In This Episode We Will Dive into:
In this episode, we explore the concept of your child's stress type using animal analogies: Dolphin, Shark, Clownfish, and Turtle. These analogies help us understand and communicate stress levels without getting bogged down in scientific jargon. This approach has been eye-opening for me, and I hope it will resonate with you as well.
Animal Stress Types
Dolphin:
- Characteristics: Playful, socially engaged, able to communicate effectively, and rational problem-solvers.
- State: Regulated, able to handle slight stress while maintaining control (ventral vagal state).
Shark:
- Characteristics: Constantly on alert, ready to attack, surveying surroundings for potential threats.
- State: Fight or flight (sympathetic state), often displayed through frustration, yelling, hitting, or other aggressive behaviors.
Clownfish (Marlin from Finding Nemo):
- Characteristics: Anxious, struggles with change, stays close to safety, skittish in new situations.
- State: Anxious side of fight or flight (sympathetic state), displaying overwhelmed and skittish behaviors.
Turtle:
- Characteristics: Withdrawn, slows down, retreats into shell, avoids communication.
- State: Freeze (dorsal vagal state), often seen as quiet and disengaged, but actually a stress response.
Key Takeaways
