Nurture Their Nature

In the field of child -psychology, “Every attitude has three components that are represented
in wh at is calle d the ABC model of attitudes: A for affective, B for behavioral, and C for
cognitive. Although every attitude has these three components, any particular attitude can
be based on one component more than another (Study.com, 2020).” The naming of the
word attitude as it relates to students learning can give someone a negative perception;
parents ask me all the time, “can you help me with my child’s attitude”. The attitude one
has for learning makes for a make or break type learning. I observe kids all the time with
Re sponsive System Dysfunction (RSD) which means it is hard to find meaning and
motivation for learning. When your child is learning under stress, fear, and having RDS,
they are learning from their mental or emotional bodies, primarily with a Sympathetic
(a n ger) Functional System which is a hyper-processing dysfunction and Parasympathetic
(shame) Functional System Dysfunction which is a hypo-processing dysfunction or both
anger/shame which is a Total Functional Dominance System which is a varied hyper-, hypodysfunction
of the RAS (Rectangular Activation System). This hyper-, h ypo- and varied
dominance affects the “whole child”.
