Children who have experienced trauma, neglect, foster care, adoption, disrupted attachment, or other painful life events may communicate their needs through defiance, aggression, withdrawal, emotional intensity, or difficulty trusting adults. This workshop helps caregivers respond in ways that support safety, responsibility, connection, and long-term growth.
