Course overview
Lesson Overview

7.72 – Understanding Trauma Responses in Kids: Trauma responses in children can appear as aggression, withdrawal, or extreme clinginess. Understanding them requires compassion and knowledge of the nervous system. Explain that their behavior is not bad but a survival response. Maintain consistent routines to rebuild safety and predictability. Gentle tone, soft lighting, and sensory regulation reduce triggers. Avoid forcing conversations; instead, create space for choice and control. Seek professional guidance if reactions are severe or prolonged. Healing takes time and requires patient presence. Reassure children that their reactions make sense for what they’ve experienced. Over time, safety and trust help the body and mind reconnect. Understanding trauma turns fear into recovery and confusion into clarity.
