And how do we respond? This book offers a practice-oriented look at current theory around early childhood adversity, attachment, trauma and brain development.\u003c\/b\u003e Traumatic experiences such as abuse, neglect, domestic violence, bereavement, bullying and others can have long-lasting effects on children, making responding to their impact a complex task for education professionals. But it is precisely through their enlightened response that healing can begin. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProviding children with positive childhood experiences is dependent upon knowledgeable practitioners who can determine children's different needs and use this understanding to create flexible, responsive learning environments. This book draws on up-to-date research informing the conceptualisation of trauma and trauma-informed interventions and uses this to establish links to practice, highlighting relationship-based interventions. Real world vignettes of trauma-aware schools and professional dialogue with experts in the field allow for a strong focus on practice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter begins with \u003cb\u003ekey ideas\u003c\/b\u003e outlining the content of the chapter, and ends with a \u003cb\u003esummary paragraph\u003c\/b\u003e to link back to the key ideas.
