Trauma can have a significant impact on the stability of a child’s development and can put additional pressures on the education staff working with them.
Showing you how you can best support children who have experienced adverse childhood experiences, this guide is full of practical guidance on how you can adapt your teaching with this group.
Covering a range of issues a child may have, such as foetal alcohol spectrum disorder, pathological demand avoidance, attachment difficulties and many more, this book provides the trauma-informed tools you need to care for these children and to give the best possible opportunities from their education.
It also addresses the difference children may experience in learning, how they behave, how teachers can ensure home–school cooperation, and how teachers can act in a trauma-informed manner.
Lots of practical helpful advice - we will be applying some of this in a homeschool environment
It should be on every teacher's bookshelf - looking a little tired from repeated reading. More importantly, it should be brought to life in the classroom. Thank you for a much needed and inspiring book.
I bought two copies and donated one to my daughter’s school. I just hope they make it part of their staff’s CPD training.
Easy to read, good expert advice and practical ideas on how to support/help. Set out to explain in bite sized chunks - what, why, what that might look like, how to approach and things that might work. Cannot recommend highly enough. Every school/teacher/childcare worker needs to read this. Wish I had had it years ago.
