In this session, we will touch on the impact of developmental trauma (Adverse Childhood Experiences - ACEs), mistrust, developmental age, and how behaviour comes from a place of shame.

By understanding why tamariki behave in the way they do, and responding in a different therapeutic way, you'll be able to provide a safe and healing home for them, the very thing that they have missed out on in critical years of their development.

Learning Objectives:

1. To gain an understanding of Developmental Trauma (ACEs) and how this impacts the child’s internal working model.
2. To explore the concept of mistrust, shame, and developmental age.
3. To consider therapeutic parenting and why we need to parent in a different way.
