Describe how early stressors might affect a child’s self-regulation abilities.
What will be an ideal response?
A complete answer would include the idea that early experiences lead to changes in neural connectivity and later emotion regulation. Stress triggers HPA activity which produces glucocorticoids (e.g., cortisol) and other hormones (e.g., adrenaline). These hormones are then responded to by brain receptors. In turn, the hormones can regulate gene expression. Exposure to stress in early life may alter gene expression and induce neural structural changes as well as modifications in the brain connectivity. This has been shown in animal research. These modifications potentially result in a greater reactivity to stimuli and fearful responses leading to poor emotion regulation.
