Ever wonder if your child is struggling with something more serious than typical childhood challenges?
In my conversation with Dr. Melissa Goldberg-Mintz, clinical psychologist and author of "Has Your Child Been Traumatized?", we explore the signs that indicate your child might be experiencing trauma and practical steps you can take to help.
Dr. Goldberg-Mintz reveals that trauma isn't just about the scary event itself - it's about how your child's body responds to it.
From medical procedures to witnessing arguments between parents, even seemingly small events can impact children in significant ways.
In this enlightening episode, you'll discover:
How to recognize trauma symptoms by looking for changes in your child's baseline behavior
The surprisingly powerful role of connection in helping children recover from traumatic experiences
Practical strategies to prepare your child for potentially stressful situations
When and how to seek professional help if you're concerned
The good news?
Parents play an even more important role than therapists in supporting a child's recovery from trauma.
Dr. Goldberg-Mintz shares, "If I had for every traumatized kid, whether they'd have the best therapist in the world or just parents that they feel securely attached to - 10 out of 10 times, I'd pick parents that they're securely attached to."
Listen to the full episode to learn how you can be the resource your child needs when facing life's challenges.
