The Power of Connection (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781546558903)

Trauma, brought on by overwhelming or chronic childhood adversity, interferes with a child's ability to learn and develop emotionally. Children living with prolonged adversity have difficulty forming and sustaining relationships with their peers and adults. After all, their life experience has taught them that others cannot be trusted. Her book (Trauma in the Classroom) discusses the science and the research behind trauma and the impact on learning, behavior, and relationships. This book (The Power of Connection) presents actionable steps any adult can use to help a child heal. The key is in the CONNECTION. While addressing teachers specifically, the principles, strategies, and methods discussed can easily be applied in settings outside the classroom. It just takes one, genuinely invested person to help a child overcome the effects of childhood adversity. That person might be you!
