Some traumatized children will see the school environment as challenging and trigger traumatic stress reactions. Others may view the school environment as a source of security and continuity. Either way, the school should be safe to all, and in this episode, host, Althea T. Simpson, discusses the need to collaborate with educators to create trauma-informed learning environments. She talks about the ability of a child’s brain to change from being traumatized and re-orienting educators on their responses to a child’s trauma, which are more physiological than psychological. Traumatized children may be under a lot of stress that can cause their system to shut down; this includes their ability to focus or concentrate, affecting their ability to learn. Join Althea in this discussion to become more informed about how to better create learning environments for traumatized children and more.

Honoring Children's Grief Process Without A Timetable With Dr. Ajita Robinson
Children don’t grieve in the same way that adults grieve. We need to honor children’s grief process and help them recover without time constraints. Althea T. Simpson’s guest in this episode is Dr. Ajita Robinson, grief and trauma expert and the author of The Gift Of Grief. Dr. Ajita discusses with Althea how children are more than likely to show their grief through demanding behaviors as they move in and out of their grief process.
We need to consider the child's age, emotional maturity, the circumstances of the loss, and the connection with the child’s loss. Working through difficult feelings can become easier with time through support and open conversations. Join in the conversation to help children in your life move through the grief process with strength and grace.
