Children can’t learn when they’re overwhelmed.
Their brain needs: 💛 Safety
💛 Connection
💛 Regulation
➡️ THEN learning becomes possible.
If your child is struggling to listen or take things in, they’re not being difficult — their brain is stuck on an earlier step.
You can’t teach a nervous system in survival mode.
Start where they are, not where you wish they were.
