Study Notes
Challenging Behaviors in Children
- Labeling a child as "difficult" or "bad" can influence their self-perception and relationships with others.
- Caregivers play a crucial role in shaping a child's initial experiences outside of the home environment.
Trauma-Informed Care
- Trauma-informed care is an approach that focuses on the strengths of the survivor and prioritizes physical, psychological, and emotional safety.
- It aims to help survivors of trauma feel safe and secure, and to encourage rebuilding a sense of control and empowerment.
Understanding Trauma
- Trauma can occur at individual, family, and community levels.
- Community-level trauma can result from experiences of oppression, racial discrimination, poverty, or neighborhood violence.
- Trauma can be acute (single event) or chronic (repetitive and prolonged).
- Complex trauma is especially invasive and disruptive to a child's development, often resulting from experiences with trusted caregivers in early childhood.
Impact of Trauma on Children
- Complex trauma can interfere with a child's ability to form a secure attachment to a caregiver.
- Attachment theory suggests that early experiences with caregivers are critical and have a lasting impact on children's lives.
- Children who struggle to form a positive secure attachment to their caregivers may have difficulties in forming healthy relationships later in life.
