For infants and toddlers in foster care, trauma isn’t always loud—it often shows up in silent struggles with sleep, eating, transitions, or resisting comfort. This training will help professionals decode trauma responses in everyday behaviors and understand how early relational trauma impacts emotional and physiological regulation. Instead of labeling behaviors as “difficult” or “defiant,” we’ll reframe them as adaptive survival strategies that help children cope with unpredictable environments. Participants will gain practical strategies to help foster, relative, and biological caregivers respond with sensitivity and create stability for young children in care.
