    - The Trauma Informed Parent: Please take the time to learn more about how trauma affects our kids. Trauma also arrives in many different forms - often times you may not even be aware that a situation or experience resulted in trauma to a child. This article is helpful in understanding how trauma can affect our children and even cause similar behaviors that mimic other well-known diagnoses.
