Background
When we work with and educate/support children, we must be mindful of the dynamics of each child’s family. It is important to keep in mind what the children may experience in their daily lives. Because you understand the value of really knowing the children and families in your care, you decide to seek professional development opportunities on the subject. You enroll and attend a professional development session called Understanding Family Trauma in Early Childhood: Strong Relationships are the Key and learned some important information about trauma informed care. You would like to share information you learned with your staff and faculty.
