Did you know that chronic or toxic stress affects children’s brains and bodies similarly to trauma? Trauma isn’t caused just by abuse or neglect. There are 3 types of trauma that fall on a spectrum from nothing --- as in emotionally detached parents who say or do nothing --- to what everyone recognizes as abuse.
It’s entirely possible that even if you are the best parent in the world your child could be feeling chronic stress due to things that are happening at home, daycare or school --- even if they aren’t even happening to them and they only witness them!
You might even be seeing signs of trauma and not know that’s what you are seeing! That’s because trauma affects children’s development, which can result in developmental delays, cellular memories that show up as physical or mental health illnesses, and problematic behaviors that are beyond the child’s control.
Attend this webinar to learn more about trauma, how it affects children, and the symptoms to look for in children at different developmental stages.
