Welcome to Expanding the Window of Tolerance Webinar
The ‘window of tolerance’, or as we like to call it the ‘window of capacity’ is a concept developed by Dr. Dan Siegel that describes the optimal zone of arousal where a person can function effectively and manage stress. For children, understanding their window of capacity can be incredibly helpful in recognising and regulating their emotions.
When within this window, children feel calm, focused, and capable of handling challenges. However, outside this window, they might feel overwhelmed, anxious, or shut down. Teaching children about the window of capacity helps them identify when they’re starting to feel stressed and use coping strategies, like deep breathing or taking a break, to bring themselves back to a state of balance. This understanding empowers them to manage their emotions better and feel more in control of their experiences.
