Stress does not look the same in every person.
One child may become angry. Another may avoid the situation. Someone else may shut down, while another keeps saying yes to prevent conflict.
These responses fight, flight, freeze, and fawn are ways the brain and body may try to create safety during stressful moments.
The goal is not to label the person. The goal is to recognize the response, respond with compassion, and help the person develop healthier coping skills.
Take a moment to reflect:
Which stress response do you notice most often in yourself or within your family?
There is no shame in the response.
Awareness is the first step toward change.
Because the ripple moves through all of them.
