How adults respond to a child’s behaviors has lasting effects on his or her development, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). It shapes how the child thinks, behaves, feels, and interacts with others. Children who have been impacted by trauma need specific approaches to discipline to ensure positive outcomes. Disciplinary strategies such as time-out, isolation, consequences, and behavior modification – in most cases, don’t work.

In this trauma-informed training, Bryan Post will present an alternative approach, and offer recommendations, for working with children and youth with severe behavioral and emotional challenges.

LEARNING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:

✓ Develop a working definition of trauma that applies to both children and adults.
✓ Understand how the limbic system changes in response to traumatic experiences.
