How would it look like in children pre school age? What would cause this? How can you get a child out of this?

It's good to keep in mind that all kids (and people) have stress responses to stressful situations but a sign of health is being able to move in and out of this state as needed. It's a problem when someone is constantly in this state and stuck there.

There are so many causes. In my experience, outside of serious trauma, the top causes are gut issues (food sensitivities, dysbiosis, yeast, parasites, inflammatory diet, poor digestion), chronic infections/brain inflammation (strep, lyme, long covid etc) and oral issues like mouth breathing/apnea/maloclussion/tongue ties. Adrenal issues can play a role too, Electrolyte imbalances, blood sugar issues.
