Ever wonder why your child can be so thoughtful one moment... and completely lose it the next? Dr. Dan Siegel's "Whole-Brain Child" model explains it perfectly 👇 🧠 Upstairs Brain (thinking brain) Problem-solving, reasoning, empathy Making good decisions Regulating emotions 🧠 Downstairs Brain (survival brain) Big emotions, impulses, reactions Fight, flight, freeze Protection mode When kids feel safe, both floors work together. But when they're overwhelmed? The upstairs goes offline. 🏚️That's not bad behaviour – that's brain science.
