    Description
    This course provides a comprehensive overview of theories, concepts and issues related to childhood stress and trauma. Emphasis is on the short-term and long-term effects that stress and trauma have on the physical, cognitive, language, social and emotional stages of a child's development. Students are introduced to child behavior patterns and potential responses to stress and trauma. Students examine research and innovative methods that support a child's coping skills and healing process. This course is designed to help early childhood practitioners and parents understand how children react and adapt to stress and trauma and to learn strategies to support and care for children.
