I have known about this concept as I recognize it looking back on my childhood (with PANDAS and ADHD) but I never knew it actually has a name. I think it can even apply to introverts being around other people for too long (draining their social battery) and not setting boundaries or making self-care a priority. Thank you so much for this insightful video! I love your child-centered approach!
Thank you for this feedback! And for introducing me to PANDAS. I had never heard of it but just quickly googled it. I will learn more! And I’m sorry you had to deal with that!
I am gravitated to the articulation, compassion, and reason you choose to bring. I'm going to be thinking a lot about the topic of whose perspective is centric to characterizations. As a side note, I notice when I listen to these videos, I feel very safe after. Thank you, and I hope you have a lovely vacation.
So true. I’m not a foster parent yet, but I’m a mom of three and former nurse, so I can relate to restraint collapse. Great video. I’m learning all I can before our family becomes a foster family. ❤️
I recognise this from my childhood, actually in the context of a loving, safe home. I was a very bright, well travelled, sociable and chatty only child. However, exactly those factors meant I never quite fitted in at school. I experienced a lot of bullying and found it hard to make friends my own age. I was always very well behaved at school and generally outside the home. At home, I sometimes behaved pretty badly - my parents used to say that almost every adult I spent time with said I was wonderful, then I came home and was a little monster. I think restraint collapse accounted for a lot of that, especially when the bullying was at its worst in my early teens.
That one is more connected to their cortisol levels which makes them cranky, but they also can't sleep because the levels are too high and they need to calm down first before being able to sleep
