Children with a trauma history are extremely sensitive. Their physiological systems are extremely sensitive to the states of other people. Watch for this. Why? If you felt your survival could be threatened at an moment, wouldn’t you be in a high state of alert? Anxious? Knowing this, the more you can offer in terms of the feeling of safety, security, and give plenty of time for transitions, the less the need for “reactivity” from your child — and the less you will react to their reactions, no longer spiraling out of control into screaming, yelling, hitting or worse.
