emotional tornado

A combination of anxiety and emotional distress and their spiral toward a child's inability to self-regulate, as witnessed in children, often during a regular school day. The emotional tornado spins from anxiety, emotional distress and poor self-regulation, followed by greater anxiety and further emotional turmoil. An emotional tornado can wreak havoc on a child's stress response system, impair maturing brain circuits and increase the probability for long-term learning, behavior and overall health.

Ashley's daily dose of bullying on the playground led to her heightened anxiety, emotional distress from the name calling and an inability to maintain her self-regulation in the recess line; she was experiencing an emotional tornado.
