Do you get angry by showing frustration when you are teaching your child? Do you have shame by weeping when you are teaching your child?

[This article is based off my just published Nurture Their Nature preview here https://link.medium.com/HEg2Ccz8Gcb ]
If you have anger, you can have hyperarousal and become frustrated, reactive, impulsive, irritable, anxious, etc. and if you have shame, you can have hypoarousal and become “shut down”, sluggish, needy, weepy, avoidant, etc.. You could have these responses normally! This is why it would be important to practice along with PYAM them!! Also, ask me below about the complete adult ELBERT™ program!! If you know someone with a learning difference and or stress responses, I’d say focus on releasing anger and strength and shame and replace it with empathy. Let’s then talk about the nature-nurture of a learning difference and see other steps for contacting me below!!
Nature– is maturation of brain and body: ability to perceive, give meaning, learn, and act including motivation and resilience. Speaking of the “whole child”- the vagus nerve connects the brain stem to the body. Vagus Nerve- The vagus nerve is one of the cranial nerves that connect the brain to the body. This vagal balance allows the triune brain to monitor and receive information from our environment; The triune includes the brain stem, midbrain, and frontal lobe. The brain stem helps us receive information from our environment. The midbrain helps us to process information from our environment. The frontal lobe to perceive the universal emotions which are the following: shame (sadness), empathy, anger (frustration/anxiety), strength, hatred, courage, grief, and compassion. The vagus nerve (thymus- vagus nerve chakra) can be deactivated, underdeveloped, hypoactive, or going inactive in children (adults-too); therefore, releasing specific inflammatory proteins at the gut-brain axis which can be toxic to the triune brain. The vagal balance is when all chakras are aligned!
The vagus nerve also is connected to RAS including the ACC/HPA. Reticular Activating System (RAS)– The reticular activating system (RAS) is a network of neurons located in the brain stem that project anteriorly to the hypothalamus to mediate behavior, as well as both posteriorly to the thalamus and directly to the cortex for activation of awake, desynchronized cortical EEG patterns (RAS info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYlpZ5F4668). NOTE: ‘The RAS is said to be the gas pedal [slow, accelerate or varied speed processing] that ignites the diencepha-lon (the hypothalamus and thalamus) as well as the cortical areas [where all long-term memory/storage takes place] of the brain’ (Petty, 1996).
More specifically, the RAS is the connection between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract. Likewise, the vagus nerve has two bunches of sensory nerve cell bodies, and it connects the brainstem to the body and vagal nerves carry somatic and visceral afferents that can alter the activity of brainstem reticular centers. Remember it also allows the brain to monitor and receive information about several of the body’s different functions including the parasympathetic (shame) and sympathetic (anger) response system at the point of the brain-gut axis by activating the seven chakras including the soma/alta major via the vagus nerve, it can continue doing its job of helping us connect our brainstem to the body; lastly, (ARAS) will be activated on the cerebral cortex which is responsible for the achievement of consciousness.
Nurture– is the adaptation of children responding to the demands of the environment in ways that meet their own goals and function in a safe and secure way. It’s also the organization to integrate particular observations (patterns first) into a body to form coherent knowledge; primarily, It’s the basis on the child’s need for meaning and motivation. Lastly, they need to be provided a safe, supportive, healthy, and loving environment to prevent kids from learning from primarily either their mental or emotional body (anger/shame) nor solely etherical (total). Relative to epigenetics (see below), my specific emphasis in the paper and program is the heart for instance: anger being replaced with strength, shame being replaced with empathy and both with love: therefore, they will increase their connection, trust, and love for themselves and others. There’s a lot to be said for Maria Montessori’s observations of trusting the universe along with ‘the child’. If we love and trust our children, this becomes their inner thoughts, feelings, ideas, and perspectives. When they trust their own brain [and heart], they can experience the “gifts of dyslexia” and learn anything the way they learn best.
I also touch on the safe, positive learning environments, toxicity and other environmental factors for instance you can view some of the activities and exercises like PYAM DAILY. In my classes and sessions, I cover the affirmations of strengths [remember trust your brain and heart: I am smart, I can do this, I am love]. A neurodifference can be perceived as having “gifts” such as: We are highly intelligent and have the ability to use tools and strategies to compensate for struggles to read, write, or spell. We may excel at thinking of “outside the box” solutions, seeing a problem from many different sides, and spatial relationships along with the ability to think in 3 dimensions. We often have intuitive and insightful, well-developed social awareness and emotions while possessing a lexicon of words to help with the synonymous “whys of dyslexia”. We also have deep and holistic list-form thinking, problem solving and building/constructing abilities, computer skills and gaming strategies. Lastly, we seek out endeavors of creative, imaginative, visual, artistic and visionary skills, inventing and innovating pursuits.

Lord’s Prayer: https://www.lords-prayer-words.com/pdfs/printable_lords_prayer.pdf
Affirmation of Faith Three times is the blessing given in Numbers 6:23, 24:–The LORD bless thee and keep thee (the Father);The LORD make His face shine upon thee; and be gracious unto thee (the Son);The LORD lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace (the Holy Spirit). Numbers 6:23-24
Prayer with Jesus: Mark 2
And at once Jesus, becoming fully aware in His spirit that they thus debated within themselves, said to them, Why do you argue (debate, reason) about all this in your hearts? AMPC
Mark 2:8 Jesus knew [knowing-Spirit] immediately what these teachers of the law were thinking [thinking-heart]. So he said to them, “Why do you have these questions in your minds? EASY
Mark 2:10 Jesus perceived in his spirit [knowing-Spirit] that they were thinking like this within themselves and said to them, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts [thinking-heart]? CSB
Mark 2: 8 And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts [thinking-heart]? KJV
Mark 2: 8 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts [thinking-heart]? ESV
Luke 5:22 When Jesus perceived their thoughts , he answered them, “Why do you question in your hearts? ESV
With His spirit [our spirit], He knows what we think, question, and reason in our own hearts. We only need to perceive with unity from His spirit then our hearts will be clean.

Psalm 23
23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Psalm 91 You have made the LORD your defender, the Most High your protector, and so no disaster will strike you, no violence will come near your home. God will put his angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands to keep you from hurting your feet on the stones. You will trample down lions and snakes, fierce lions and poisonous snakes. God says, “I will save those who love me and will protect those who acknowledge me as LORD. When they call to me, I will answer them;when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will rescue them and honour them. I will reward them with long life; I will save them.”
