Why Trauma Informed Parenting? Caring for a child or teen who has experienced trauma can be difficult. Traumatic events can range anywhere from emotional, sexual, medical or physical trauma, to surviving a natural disaster, to experiencing distressing events at home or school. When a child or teen is exposed to one or more traumas, the effects can be long lasting. A child’s response to trauma can lead a caregiver to feel baffled, isolated, or unsure of how to help their child and address the behaviors that have surfaced.
Understanding how traumatic situations impact children can help caregivers better understand how trauma impacts the brain, child and adolescent development, and emotion regulation. Learn more about how to create a safe and positive environment for your child by learning trauma specific coping skills and interventions.
