Children who have experienced complex, developmental trauma often struggle with regulation, which can be challenging; this might include physical aggression, verbal attacks, defiance, withdrawal, and even self-harm. What does it mean to be traumatised? And how can caring and responsive adults best support these children and collaborate effectively with their families? This workshop will provide a framework that helps caring professionals understand how trauma affects a child’s neurobiology, emotional regulation, relational abilities, and educational progress. We will further identify specific strategies that can be used to address these needs within the classroom and school environments and support a child’s ability to regulate.
While we welcome participation from outside of the Early Years sector, please note these learning opportunities are intended for early years professionals and the early years lens will be emphasized.
