I just read that one of the most important factors that educators can do is to provide a safe environment and relationship for children dealing with trauma. One way to do this is not to pry and get children to talk about an area that they simply are not ready to talk about yet. If a child says “No,” then that will empower them to feel safe around the educator who accepts the child’s answer. In addition, allowing children to draw pictures about their feelings is also empowering, in that when needed, children can draw in a positive picture, or perhaps gain more from a detail added to the picture, (Steele, & Kuban 2014, p 19).
How can adults become more caring, supportive, and useful in the lives of children who suffers from trauma?
