Tapestry Conference 2015–Back to Basics
Impact of Hard Places on Brain, Biology, Body, Beliefs, and Behavior
Children from “hard places” are impacted in many different ways and in varying degrees by their histories. There are five primary ways children from “hard places” are impacted – we call them the 5 B’s: 
Brain – altered brain development and an overactive amygdala
Biology – altered neurochemistry
Body – altered physical development and impacted ability to process sensory inputs
Beliefs – altered belief systems
Behavior – altered ability to self-regulate in response to stressors
