Understanding the traumatized child
- "Former foster children, parents, teachers, and therapists discuss the variety of ways in which children may be traumatized, and describe the impact of trauma on the way children view themselves and others."
- "The impact of abuse and neglect on children--on their behaviors, on their sense of self, and on their capacity to form attachments with new caregivers--poses challenges for foster and adoptive parents, teachers, and other professionals. In this video, therapists describe how traumatized children understand the world; interact with others differently from other children, and how adults can respond most effectively. Topics such as anger and anxiety, trauma triggers, dissociation, de-escalation strategies, grounding techniques, and the process of building a trusting relationship are explored and reinforced by the accounts of parents, teachers, and former foster children. It is important to understand what drives traumatized children's behaviors, rather than simply react to them, which the suggestions for stabilizing traumatized children and improving adult/child interactions provide."
