Unfortunately, traumatic and stressful events are a part of many young children’s lives. With nearly 20,000 copies of the first edition (ISBN 978-1-884834-26-4) in print, this is a popular resource for guidance counselors, law enforcement, and teachers caring for children who have experienced traumatic and stressful situations. The much-needed new edition has 30% new content and rejuvenated potential for course adoption.

This is among one of the only books to speak to the concept of “trauma-informed” early childhood education. It applies to children ages 3–8 who have experienced a range of traumatic situations, including natural disasters, community and family violence, frequent moves, extensive medical treatments, complicated divorce, deployment of a parent in the military, and death of a parent or caregiver.

This resource includes 85 activities to help fragile children process and heal from stressful events. These activities are grounded in brain research; new content includes the latest on critical early brain development and the impact of disrupted attachments and early insecurities.

The author has provided more than 400 in-service trainings and presentations on child trauma and education in Ohio schools. She is a certified child trauma consultant by the National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children.
