In working with parents for many years, we often come across those who are simply exhausted by challenging behaviors. They understand that their child has experienced trauma, but don’t have a plan of attack for these behaviors and end up resorting to yelling, threats, and other disconnected parenting strategies.

In this workshop we will touch on lying, stealing, and disrespect, big behaviors that can be a huge trigger for parents. We will remind caregivers of how trauma impacts the brain, how to look for the need behind the behavior, and will give parents and caregivers a practical problem-solving checklist to work through challenging behaviors in a way that builds connection and trust.
