What if your child’s most confusing behaviors are actually messages you haven’t learned to read yet? Raging. Lying. Stealing. Shutting down. These behaviors feel defiant — but for children who’ve experienced trauma, loss, or early adversity, they’re often the nervous system’s best attempt at staying safe. Join us for a powerful day-long training designed for adoptive and foster families, and the professionals working with them.
Barb Clark is our expert trainer, and she will guide us from reacting to reconnecting. You’ll walk away with a brain-based framework for understanding your child’s behavior, real-life strategies that reduce conflict and build connection, and a new way of seeing the child in front of you.
July 9th 9:00 am – 4:30 pm CST
