All incoming information must pass through the emotions before it can reach the neo-cortex for processing.
As the brain is placed under stress the need for survival becomes greater. It then downshifts into the stem. There are only two ways it can survive FIGHT OR FLIGHT. A person with the FIGHT mentality will develop conduct problems. A person with the FLIGHT mentality develops clinical problems. Conduct problems require respect, Clinical problems require responsibility

4. What We Do Now!!! The Exact Opposite
FREEDOM AND CHOICES TO YOUNG CHILDREN – 2-9 TEMPER TANTRUMS, CRYING AND WHINNING. IT IS VERY EASY TO GIVE IN TO A CRYING CHILD!
NO BOUNDRIES BETWEEN YEARS OLD
START SAYING AND DOING WHAT THEY WANT VERY ARGUEMENTATIVE-CONCERN DEVELOPS ON THE PART OF TEACHERS AND PARENTS REGARDING THE CHILD’S BEHAVIOR
REBELLION, GRADES 9-12, NO SELF DISCIPLINE, OR SELF MOTIVATION
POWER STRUGGLES, NO CHARACTER. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO RESTRAIN THE BEHAVIORS OF A REBELLIOUS TEENAGER

5. Freedom and Authority
Most children believe the way to get more freedom is to get out from under authority, e.g.. Move out of their house, or do what they want in school. True freedom is a result of trust. Trust is built through compliance. The more compliant a child, is the greater the trust, and the more freedom he will have. There is a clear difference between freedom and liberty. Liberty is a condition of the environment, Freedom is a condition of the mind and soul. As children experience non-compliance they are doing what they want in terms of the environment, but have great difficulty managing the guilt associated with their behavior. The more guilt they experience the more angry and non-compliant they become. Is it any wonder that we are now experiencing school shootings.
