Trauma Interrupts Development: Think “Younger"!
This presentation defines what is meant by trauma-informed parenting and then quickly moves on to show how trauma interrupts the processes of “normal” child development. The child who experienced trauma prior to arriving in the adoptive family presents with “immature” development. Parents must often “think younger” when parenting these sons and daughters. There is focus on the cognitive domain of development and its relationship to moral development, social skills, and problem-solving skills. Discussion concludes with concrete ways to help “grow up” the adoptee. Plenty of resources are provided for additional learning.
