The neurodivergent amygdala functions differently from a neurotypical one.
It can be more reactive, quicker to activate, and slower to return to baseline after stress.
This means the fight, flight, or freeze response may switch on more easily — even in situations that seem minor to others.
It’s not overreaction; it’s a brain wired for heightened sensitivity and faster threat detection.
Understanding this difference helps us support regulation, not mislabel behaviour.

When Worries Take Over: Supporting Children With Everyday Worries
The Toolkit for Parents & Educators
Worry is part of every child’s life, but for some it takes over — showing up as tummy aches, meltdowns, perfectionism, clinginess, sleep struggles, or silence. It’s not “bad behaviour”; it’s a sign of anxiety that needs understanding and support.
This toolkit brings together everything parents, carers, and professionals need to respond with confidence and compassion.
Inside you’ll find:
✔️ 13 in-depth strategy sheets, covering topics such as spotting triggers, emotional vocabulary, school worries, sleep struggles, calming strategies, and when to seek extra help. These pull together all the content from our 14 day social media content.
✔️ Practical checklists and brainstorming tools for addressing worries, incidents and negative thoughts.
✔️ Visuals and posters that make emotions and strategies easy to remember and use in the moment.
Each section is clear, practical, and rooted in strategies you can apply straight away at home or in the classroom. The toolkit is designed to reduce overwhelm, provide step-by-step guidance, and give children the tools they need to face their worries gradually with growing resilience.
Perfect for:
– Parents who want simple, effective strategies for daily life
– Teachers looking for classroom-friendly tools
– Professionals supporting anxious children, or their families, in different settings
Anxiety doesn’t have to control a child’s world. With the right knowledge, practical tools, and steady support, adults can make a powerful difference.
When Worries Take Over is your go-to toolkit for turning worry into an opportunity for connection, growth, and confidence.
