Making Sense of Classroom Nonsense: How trauma (maltreatment, chaos, poor at...Helen Oakwater
Presentation to Hertfordshire teachers _ Why do adopted and fostered children struggle?
For some children (especially adopted and fostered) their erratic and challenging behaviour results from their maltreatment or neglect in infancy. These children have difficulties because they experienced severe neglect, repeated abuse, domestic violence or chaos which interrupted and derailed their normal developmental path and brain wiring.
Similar to adult PTSD the legacy of infancy trauma causes them to act in apparently nonsensical ways. Consequently parents and carers feel inadequate and use ineffective parenting and behaviour management strategies.
This document outlines a school project aimed at helping students coping with single-parenting due to the loss of a parent. The project involved conducting counseling sessions for 21 students from grades 6 and 7 who had lost a parent. Through these sessions, the students were able to openly express their emotions and better understand and accept their situation. The school also provided financial assistance to some students and worked to boost their self-confidence. As a result, the students' socialization, self-esteem, and ability to accept reality improved. The school plans to continue supporting these students.
Adverse Childhood Experiences become the trauma legacy for many children. Their behaviour indicates the underlying issues ONLY IF we are prepared to notice this.

Helping Children Cope with Grief and Loss: A Guide for CaregiversKaitlynJones26
This is a guide my group created to be used by Shani Thornton, a registered CCLS in California. This guide walks caregivers through the difficult task of navigating their child's experience with grief while giving information on how to talk to the child, developmentally appropriate responses to loss, and a list of children's books that may be helpful in guiding their child.
This document discusses factors that can contribute to the disruption of an adoption placement. It identifies potential issues with the adoptive parents, the adopted child, and the adoption system. It provides a checklist for professionals to use before a placement breaks down. Finally, it outlines strategies for supporting the child, adoption workers, adoptive parents, and siblings through the disruption process.
The document discusses grief and bereavement. It defines grief as the normal process of reacting to loss, and bereavement as the period of sadness after losing a loved one to death. Grief is experienced mentally, physically, socially, and emotionally. Common grief responses include disbelief, shock, anger, anxiety, and physical symptoms like tightness in the chest. There are different types of grief such as chronic grief, absent grief, and delayed grief. The stages of grief are typically denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Bereavement involves shock, yearning for the deceased, despair, and ultimately reorganization.
The document provides an overview of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and guidance for working with children who have ASD. [1] It defines ASD as a neurological disorder that affects the brain's functioning and development, causing issues with social interaction, communication, and behavior. [2] Signs of ASD include repetitive motions, avoiding eye contact, speech delays, digestive issues, and poor motor skills. [3] The document offers tips for helping children with ASD, such as using visual aids to facilitate communication and providing sensory toys or breaks when a child seems overstimulated.
Parental Presence – Building foundations of change for our childrenJane mitchell
The document discusses several aspects of parental presence that are important for therapeutic parenting of children who have experienced developmental trauma. It discusses:
1) The importance of a calm physical presence to help children feel cared for, accepted, and begin developing trust. Simple physical presence can help regulate children's emotions.
2) Keeping children "in mind" when apart by using reminders like photos, notes, smells to reassure them of the parental bond. This helps children who struggle with separation due to inappropriate early care.
3) Providing a narrative by describing what you see in the child, to reinforce the messages of care, acceptance and that the child is important. This was how parents naturally interact with pre
P.M.H. Atwater - Childrens' Near-Death Experiences, pre-natal and after-birthExopolitics Hungary
Children can experience near-death experiences (NDEs) similarly to adults. Research shows around 85% of children who experience cardiac arrest report having an NDE. Common features of children's NDEs include comforting experiences involving loving presences or places. Children's NDEs tend to include fewer features and be more concrete than adults', though some children report complex NDEs. After an NDE, children often display increased sensitivity, spirituality, and maturity. Caregivers can support childhood NDErs by listening without judgment, anticipating adjustment challenges, and encouraging creative self-expression.
This document provides information about grief counselling. It discusses what grief and mourning are, common causes of grief like death, divorce or job loss. It outlines some of the emotional, physical, behavioral, academic and social impacts of grief on children of different ages. It also discusses gender differences in expressing grief, stages of grief, healthy and unhealthy ways of coping, and tips for helping children cope with loss.
The presentation is about stress and anxiety.
As we know children are now fighting with so many stress and anxiety because of many reasons,
we have to take some big steps towards this matter.
1. Identifying an emotional or behavioral disorder in children is difficult as there are many biological, environmental, and psychological factors that influence development and behavior exists on a continuum.
2. Diagnoses are based on classification systems like the DSM-IVR which lists behavioral characteristics, but these criteria are subject to interpretation and can vary between professionals.
3. The most important goal of an evaluation is to provide recommendations to support the child, regardless of whether a diagnosis is given. A problem does not disappear if criteria for a diagnosis are not fully met.
How does family stability affect the child in the classroom Ashley Ambers
The document discusses how various forms of family instability like addiction, homelessness, and divorce can negatively impact children's development and success in school. Children from unstable home environments may struggle with emotional regulation, focus, learning disabilities, and stress which hinders classroom performance. Teachers can help by creating stable routines, encouraging positive relationships, and being aware of community resources for additional support.

This document discusses childhood sexual abuse (CSA), including statistics on prevalence and treatment options. It provides statistics showing that CSA affects millions of children worldwide each year, with prevalence rates ranging from 7.9% for males to 28.2% for females in rural New Zealand. The effects of CSA can last a lifetime. Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is presented as the most effective treatment, consisting of components delivered to both the child and parent, including psychoeducation, relaxation techniques, affect expression/regulation, cognitive coping, trauma narrative/processing, in vivo exposure, and conjoint parent-child sessions to improve communication and safety skills.

Class 1: Integrative Parenting for Attachment Traumaatcnebraska
This document summarizes key points from a presentation on raising children affected by attachment trauma. It discusses how early life experiences shape children's core beliefs and behaviors. Children who experienced trauma may live with a hyper-aroused "survival brain" and have difficulties with emotion regulation, trust, and focusing. Their challenging behaviors are understood as reflexive responses to trauma rather than intentional misbehavior. Therapies like EMDR and family therapy can help rewire the brain and establish a secure attachment to support healing. Parents are encouraged to understand their children through a trauma lens to develop empathy and use integrative parenting strategies.
The document summarizes research on brain development during adolescence in 3 main areas:
1. Brain growth and pruning occurs rapidly during early adolescence as connections are formed and unused connections are eliminated. The experiences a teen has will shape which connections are strengthened.
2. The prefrontal cortex, responsible for impulse control and decision making, is still developing through early twenties. Other areas like the motor cortex also develop significantly during adolescence.
3. Differences have been found in brain activation and reward responses between adolescents and adults, which may influence risk-taking behaviors in teens. Their prefrontal cortex is less developed compared to emotional centers of the brain.
This document discusses stress and its effects on the body and brain. It describes how stress is processed by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and hormones like cortisol. Prolonged or chronic stress can lead to allostatic load, damaging the hippocampus and amygdala over time and impairing memory, cognitive function, and immune response. The brain plays a key role in perceiving and responding to stressors, and rewiring of neural pathways through extinction learning in the prefrontal cortex is important for overcoming fear responses.
Trauma is defined as a serious injury or shock to the body caused by violence, accidents, or events involving death, injury, or threats that provoke intense fear, helplessness, or horror. Historical trauma refers to the cumulative emotional and psychological effects of massive group trauma experienced across generations. Trauma resides in the nervous system rather than just being a response to the event itself, as the event can strain the body's ability to regulate beyond its capacity, causing the nervous system to disorganize and break down.
The document provides guidance for communicating with children about serious family illnesses. It discusses principles for honest communication that maintains trust. It outlines common concerns children have when a parent is ill, including how their lives will be affected, if they caused the illness, and if they can catch it.

1. Allostasis refers to the body's ability to adapt to environmental demands through physiological responses, while allostatic load describes the wear and tear on the body from chronic stress.
2. The study aims to measure the primary, secondary, and tertiary effects of allostasis using biomarkers, physical measurements, and clinical indices, and correlate levels of stress exposure with health outcomes.
3. The methodology involves collecting data from parents on socioeconomic factors and child's environment and performance via questionnaire, taking biological samples and physical readings from children to assess stress response, and optionally distinguishing data by race to compare groups.
Lesson 7 alternatives factors to the stress responseCrystal Delosa
The document discusses how social, cultural, and environmental factors can exacerbate or alleviate the stress response, noting examples from the textbook where cultural background influences stress levels from common stressors. It then defines allostasis as the body's ability to adapt to challenges by remaining flexible, in contrast to homeostasis which aims for stability. Allostatic load refers to the number of stressors experienced, as frequent activation of the stress response can cause long-term damage, while allostatic overload results when too many new stressors prevent coping abilities.
This file accompanies a YouTube clip. It distinguishes allostasis from homeostasis and provides a brief overview of the allostatic response and allostatic load - see facebook page for link to clip - ePsychVCE.com (or website of same name)

Mary Ainsworth developed the Strange Situation assessment to observe patterns of attachment between mothers and children. The assessment involves briefly separating the child from their mother in an unfamiliar setting while a stranger is present, and observing the child's reactions. Ainsworth identified three main styles of attachment through this assessment: secure attachment, anxious-ambivalent insecure attachment, and anxious-avoidant insecure attachment. Ainsworth's work helped establish the importance of the emotional bond between caregivers and children known as attachment.
- John Bowlby was a British psychiatrist who developed the theory of attachment, which proposes that the bonds formed between children and their caregivers have a significant impact that lasts throughout life.
- Key aspects of attachment theory include the four phases of attachment development from birth to 2 years old, the concept of an internal working model, and different styles of attachment identified in Ainsworth's Strange Situation experiments, including secure, avoidant, resistant, and disorganized attachment styles.
- Attachment theory has influenced research showing relationships between early attachment and later social/emotional development, as well as the importance of caregiver sensitivity and responsiveness in forming secure attachment. However, critics note it focuses primarily on the mother's role and evolutionary

68 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
EXCHANGE SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2010
In 1980, Karen Stephens became director

Fostering resilience in children
exposed to domestic violence
Practical strategies EC staff can put into action
by Karen Stephens
Whether staff realizes it or not, early
childhood programs are not just fun and
engaging places for children to play and
learn. For some children, our programs
are bonafide daytime havens from
turmoil. I’m speaking specifically about
those children who find themselves in
the cross-fire of violence between the
people they love most in the world —
their own family members. The vio-
lence might be verbal intimidation and
humiliation, or a combination of verbal
and physical attack. Either way, it’s terri-
fying for the children witnessing assault
behind closed doors. Whether violent
episodes in the home are a one-time
occurrence — or a long time, repeated
pattern of family dysfunction — the
fallout of violence leaves a mark on
children’s emotional spirit and overall
development, including typical brain
development.
Children enmeshed in violence don’t
experience a relaxed, predictable, or
trusting home life. In fact, children
exposed to home violence often experi-
ence symptoms of post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) just as adults do after
enduring violence. Domestic violence
robs children of their childhood. And
while early childhood staff can’t erase
the effects of violence on children’s
individual make-up, they can become
a positive mediating factor. By nurtur-
ing children’s ability to rebound from
challenges, early childhood profession-
als can help children become resilient,
despite their early experiences with
trauma.
To become an effective ‘resilience factor’
for children, we must be aware of the
effects of violence on children. Early
childhood staff — especially classroom
teachers and caregivers — need to be
alert to symptoms that suggest children
may feel under siege in their own home.
With that knowledge, we can make
specific adjustments in our classrooms
and programs to increase children’s re-
silience. If we do so with intentional and
consistent effort, we can help trauma-
tized children feel more trusting, safe,
secure, and hopeful about life, despite
their personal experience with family
violence. We can be an intervention to
show children an alternative view of
human interaction that is characterized
by dignified interactions and respectful
conflict resolution. It’s another side of
life they desperately need to believe in.

childhood staff might observe. A cluster

Teen Parent Relationship Boundaries - GenzanduGenZandu
Establishing boundaries in a parent-teen relationship is crucial for fostering mutual respect and understanding. These boundaries may encompass areas such as privacy, communication, curfews, and responsibilities. Open dialogue, empathy, and compromise are essential for setting and maintaining these boundaries effectively. By clearly defining expectations and respecting each other's autonomy, parents and teens can cultivate a healthy, supportive relationship that promotes growth and independence while ensuring safety and well-being.

Woods Homes provides mental health services to children and families in Calgary and surrounding areas. They have partnered with the Calgary Catholic School District to provide treatment to children experiencing behavioral and emotional challenges through "Starting Points" classrooms in mainstream elementary schools. Understanding a child's behavior requires knowing their family history, any diagnoses or medications, home and school environments, triggers, warning signs, strengths, and motivations. As adults working with children, it is important to be proactive, set clear expectations, offer choices, and avoid power struggles by de-escalating situations before a full crisis occurs.
This document discusses emotional development in children in 3 paragraphs or less:
Children develop emotionally in several areas including recognizing and expressing feelings, developing empathy, learning to manage anger and sadness, and developing fears and coping strategies. Key emotional milestones include recognizing basic emotions in the first year, developing jealousy between ages 1-2, and experiencing fears of strangers and loud noises as infants. Managing emotions involves learning to express feelings in healthy ways and control impulses. Developing emotional intelligence allows children to build relationships and handle challenges.
This article provides guidance for parents on how to talk to their children about tragic events like school shootings. It recommends being honest but using simple language appropriate for the child's age. Explanations should be kept short, around three sentences. It also suggests acknowledging children's fears but reassuring them that they are safe, and encouraging open communication. Parents should watch for physical or behavioral symptoms indicating stress and keep their family's faith as a source of comfort and strength.
This document discusses human development across four areas - social, emotional, physical, and intellectual. It focuses on emotional development and covers topics like feelings, empathy, happiness, anger, jealousy, sadness/depression, fear, and the struggle between dependence and independence. Imagination, creativity, conformity, and childhood myths are also examined in the context of a child's emotional growth. The overall message is that a child's emotional development involves learning to understand and regulate their feelings in socially appropriate ways.
