Question1: The terms regulated and dysregulated children caught my attention. Back in the day we called it, those with “home-training” and those without. In essence, I think it’s the concept is the same. I am curious to discover the techniques endorsed by this book in helping the child functioning with a dysregulated mindset.

Question 5: The advantages Andy has over Billy when their tolerances are compared start with Andy’s supportive, home life. He was properly nurtured from the womb. according to the book, any stress experienced by the mother is internalized by the fetus in utero. This theory lends credence to our professional development sessions on stress from the beginning of the year. His parents took every step to make sure he was a well-balanced, properly regulated child. Because of the attention to detail the parents gave in raising their child, Andy’s tolerance threshold is deep and he responds more appropriately to both pleasant and adverse situations. In contrast Biily’s conception was unintentional, which lead to a highly stressful relationship between his mother and her boyfriend. After Billy’s premature birth and getting kick out of her parent’s house, life with the boyfriend was abusive. Her relationship with her son was neglectful, leaving Billy to his own devices. Little Billy moved several times before his 5th birthday. All of this laid the groundwork for a volatile environment for Billy. Calm and peace are foreign to him. With his lack of guidance and rarely, if every, having his basic emotional needs met, he would get what he could. He probably believed even bad attention is better than no attention. He would become that dysregulated child, he’s touchy and has a chip on his shoulder. He’ll scream with his shallow tolerance, to make sure his voice is heard, because the people he should have mattered to, through neglect, conditioned him to behave that way.
