We enjoyed the following book together today and discussed it:
This was a great visual from our book about how to control our impulses:
We also talked about flipping our lids:
All the parts of my brain are connected
and working together. It is almost like the upper part of my brain is hugging
my amygdala and it feels safe; my pre-frontal cortex is doing it’s job and
being in charge! I am in control!
My amygdala doesn’t feel safe any longer and my pre-frontal
cortex isn’t in charge. I can easily
‘flip my lid’ and my emotions may get really big. I
am not in control!
