Children with histories of abuse and neglect tend to exhibit very difficult behaviors such as chronic lying, stealing, aggression, difficulties with eating, and/or sleeping. Trauma-focused parenting is discussed with an emphasis on the impact of trauma on brain development. Ensuring a child’s physical, emotional, and psychological safety is paramount to decreasing behavioral issues and “re-wiring” the brain for appropriate behavioral responses.
