Integrating the Upstairs and Downstairs Brain: Teaching how to make good decisions in high-emotion situations Imagine that the brain is like a house with both a downstairs and an upstairs.
The Downstairs Brain includes the limbic region and the brain stem. It is the more primitive part of the
brain and is responsible for Basic functions such as breathing, blinking and heart rate etcInnate reactions (fight, flight or freeze)
Strong emotions such as anger or fear
Anger, other strong emotions, bodily functions and instincts are from the downstairs brain. Similar to the main floor of a house, basic necessities are managed downstairs.
The Upstairs Brain includes the cerebral cortex and is highly sophisticated. This where thinking, imagining and planning occurs. This part of the brain is responsible for the development of: sound decision making and planning control over emotions and body self-understanding empathy morality When a childͬyouth's upstairs brain is working well, they can regulate their emotions, considerHaving Appropriate Expectations
Two things can get in the way of the upstairs and downstairs working well togetherDevelopmental:
The first is how old they are and where they are in their development. The downstairs brain is pretty developed at birth, the upstairs brain isn't fully deǀeloped until their mid-twenties. This means that all
the behaviors we want them to learn (see above) rely on a part of the brain that is developing. It is
helpful to think of it as ͞under construction" so it isn't always able to manage the downstairs brain. The Amygdala
Is the size and shape of an almond and can be found in the limbic area (downstairs). It is the watchdog
part of the brain, always scanning for danger. It quickly processes and expresses emotions, especially
anger and fear (fight, flight and freeze). When it does sense danger it can completely take over, or
hijack the upstairs brain. When triggered the amygdala allows us to act before we think. It is important
to note an activated amygdala blocks connections to the upstairs brain.What this all means
Children and youth's upstairs brain is deǀeloping (under construction), but eǀen the parts that can work
become blocked when under high emotion or stress.Downstairs Tantrums
When a child or youth is having a tantrum, they have lost the ability to think clearly, they can't use their
upstairs brain. Their downstairs brain has hijacked it. At these times there is no point in discussing
consequences or appropriate behavior. They have lost the ability to think and are usually responding in
flight, fight or freeze. This means their amygdala has become activated, and needs to be soothed and
calmed.Adapted from Siegel, D.J., & Bryson, T.P. (2011). The whole-brain child: Twelve revolutionary strategies
