Synopsis:

The Essential Guide to Helping Your Child Understand Their Trauma

When a child experiences a stressful event, they often don't have the words to describe the chaos they feel inside. Trauma: Teaching Kids all about Trauma fills that gap, serving as a gentle, yet powerful, bridge to understanding and healing.

The Solution:

• This book teaches children why they feel the way they do, discussing how trauma affects their thoughts, feelings, and actions.

• It equips them with actionable coping strategies and a clear path to expressing their experiences.

• It reinforces the critical message: You are a survivor—you can overcome this.

Designed with the Anxious Child in Mind: Engaging content—including vivid illustrations, simple language, and a fun "Can You Spot It?" game—helps to maintain focus and provides a calming activity for moments of distraction or anxiety. Plus, find review questions, a word search, and online resources for continued support.

NOTE: This book contains real-life illustrations of traumatic events which could be triggering for children (and adults) who might have experienced a recent or unresolved trauma. It should be read with a responsible adult and is designed to educate and facilitate open discussions about trauma between children and counselors, therapists, social service staff, etc. as well as conscientious parents/caregivers.
