Front 10

Attachment pattern

Back 10

the strategies of behaviors and responses that a child develops to feel safe and to receive care from a caregiver; the patterns emerge through their experiences with their caregiver.

Front 11

Attachment spectrum

Front 18

Student behavioral response

Back 18

part of the cycle of student behavior, a student's reaction to their emotional response to a trigger; the behavior is influenced by their internal working model and consistent with their attachment pattern.

Front 19

Educator response

Back 19

part of the cycle of student behavior, the educator's response to a student's behavior; either reinforces the students internal working model and fails to address the underlying need, or addresses the students need and de-escalates behavior.

Back 24

the first stage of the general adaptation syndrome describing humans response to stress, set off by the amygdala, after a stressful event.

Front 25

Back 25

the second stage of the general adaptation syndrome, describing humans response to stress; the body's autonomic nervous system tries to resist the effects of the stress.

Front 26

Exhaustion

Back 26

the third stage of the general adaptation syndrome describing humans response to stress; the body is depleted and has no resistance against the continued stress.

Front 27

Amygdala

Back 28

The front part of the frontal lobe in the brain; is responsible for higher cognitive functions like planning, making decisions, knowing right from wrong.

Front 29

Hippocampus

Back 29

the part of the brain responsible for learning and remembering; located in the medial temporal lobe, with one half in the left side of the brain, and one half in the right.

Front 30

Emotional hijack

Back 30

The state in which one's emotions overpower cognition

Front 31

Front 36

Mindfulness

Back 36

The state of being aware of one's thoughts and feelings in the present moment, in a non-judgmental way.
