Waarom zijn kinderen prikkelbaar of gedragen ze zich ambetant nadat ze tv keken of spelletjes speelden op een scherm?
Schermen: tv, tablet, computer, smartphone triggeren de vecht- of vluchtmodus, nadat de schermtijd voorbij is.

Interessant artikel met uitleg hoe het komt en hoe we hen kunnen helpen.

Screens and the "fight or flight" response ✨

Have you noticed that after your kids have been on screens, they're agitated? Excited? Loud?

This is very likely because screens tend to put their nervous system into a "fight or flight" response.

⚡️ The bright lights,
⚡️ the images moving fast,
⚡️ the loud or sharp sounds,
⚡️ the suspense and fast paced story, etc. .. impact our children's physiology.

Their heart beats faster and their lungs breathe quicker, while their eyes are locked in tunnel vision.

👉 Fast heartbeat, fast breathing and tunnel vision are typical of the fight or flight response in the body.

What also usually comes up with the fight or flight response is FAST MOVEMENTS (to defend oneself (fight), or to run away (flight)).

But when our kids are in front of the screen... they're NOT moving.
-> So the fight or flight energy builds up in their body...
Until we turn the screens off.
And that's when they're suddenly feeling all this built-up energy!

💪 Their body will try to process the built-up FIGHT energy by playing fight.
🏃‍♀️ Or to process the built-up FLIGHT energy by running around.

It often looks messy.
Because kids don't know how to self-regulate...
Until they've learnt it with us.
