Brain

Two muscles ...the part that's in charge of fight, flight, freeze...... other part in charge of problem solving and other things.....abused/neglected kids have the one in charge of fight, flight or freeze overworked and too ready to use.....the other muscle doesn't get practiced enough.....therefore it's not used......abused and neglected kids need those other skills but their brains don't have the connections needed on that weaker muscle.

Kids need attentiveness....if not received then it further prevents that other part of the brain from developing. Implications: teach skills while being attentive
