Abstract
Stress is a ubiquitous experience that can have profound effects on brain functions and behaviour. When we experience stress, our brain goes into overdrive, triggering a cascade of reactions, that can shape our thoughts emotions and actions. As a neuro-fertile ground, stress can shape the development and expression of various psychological and neurological conditions. This paper explores the complex interplay between stress and brain function, examining the neurobiological mechanisms underlying stress responses and their impact on cognition, emotion regulation, and behaviour. Drawing on insights from neuropsychology, child psychology, and clinical psychology, this review highlights the critical role of stress in shaping brain structure and function. This knowledge can inform the development of innovative strategies for building resilience in children and mitigating the negative effect of stress on our minds and bodies through scaffolding parenting techniques.
