TOPIC:
Children are impacted academically, emotionally and neurologically by pre and post birth stress, trauma, neglect and abuse. Traumatized children present with an array of behaviors and can carry diagnoses like ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, PTSD, learning disabilities, etc. They may even have undiagnosed sensory processing problems which further hinder their ability to self calm and be in constructive relationships with themselves or others.
Learn more about how to spot traumatized children from one who not only survived her own experience of childhood trauma and abuse but who is also thriving and teaching others how to overcome the “hard place” that they came from.
