Children don’t always express distress in obvious ways.
In this session, Dr. Dave Anderson will help parents recognize how emotional challenges show up through behavior, mood, and daily routines.
Using a practical, skills-based approach, he will outline how caregivers can respond in ways that support emotional regulation, build resilience, and reduce escalation.
Grounded in evidence-based treatment approaches, this talk will focus on what parents can do in the moment to support their child without needing to have all the answers.
3 Key Takeaways:
● Identification of behavioral and emotional indicators of trauma and grief across developmental stages.
● Use of evidence-informed response strategies that prioritize emotional regulation before behavioral correction.
● Application of supportive caregiving practices that promote resilience, including consistency, predictability, and attuned responses.
