According to the American Psychological Association, more than two thirds of children report experiencing a traumatic event by age 16. From traumatic events, such as child abuse and neglect or witnessing disturbing world events on the news, to sensitive topics, such as children’s questions about skin color or disabilities, young children and youth process these stressful events in many different ways.
This course will help with identifying stress related behaviors in young children, as well as ways to talk with them about those events in a way that supports and facilitates their ability to cope.
Not all courses are approved for early care and education in every state. Please check State and CEU Approvals page for details.
