A Bible of facts and foundations needed to provide trauma-informed care in early learning environments, including information on neurobiology, challenging behaviors, teacher self-care and strategies. Case studies are used to demonstrate the process in action and provide further training. I highly recommend this for everyone involved in the care and keeping of our young learners!

I never actually finished this book, but I read most of it for a book club. There is good stuff in here, it's just not all "hard" information if that makes sense.
