Reaching and Teaching Children Exposed to Trauma is essential for any early childhood educator. This book aims to inform the reader on how to identify specific behaviour patterns of development that may be unhealthy for the child. Chapters cover topics such as stress response and fear based behavior, the effect of trauma on relationships, self-regulation, social skills, sensory processing and the developmental process of learning. Dr. Barabara Sorrels then offers a way in which to approach teaching a child that demonstrates one or more of these behaviours. She offers insight into the play-based curriculum, drama, art, science and math in the classroom. - Academic's Choice Awards
