In Flooded , counselor and bestselling author, Allison Edwards explains how parents, teachers, and counselors can identify when Children have entered The Flood Zone.
Even the most motivated child (or adult) with the greatest coping strategies won\'t be able to identify or manage their Emotions in The Flood Zone.
In this state, Children are unable to be rational, regulated, or otherwise compliant.
They blame and lie.
They withdraw and lose concentration.
They yell, bite, or run away.
When Children experience The Flood Zone, their behavior changes.
You\'ve entered The Flood Zone.
Your heart races, your body tenses up, your hands shake, and your Emotions take over rational thought.
When your brain perceives danger, your body and mind will go instantly into one of three modes-flight, fight, or freeze.
