Trauma-Responsive Strategies for Early Childhood offers an overview of trauma and its impact on young children, as well as specific strategies and techniques educators and administrators can use to create classroom and school communities that improve the quality of care for this vulnerable population. The authors have synthesized research-based information in an accessible way. Focusing on the four different domains of cognitive, language, physical, and social-emotional, the authors use vignettes to explore how trauma can be expressed in the classroom and what teachers can do about it.
