Children with histories of trauma, neglect, and attachment loss often live in chronic states of fear and emotional dysregulation. To heal, they don't just need behavioral management—they need emotional tutors. This course equips non-clinical professionals with the brain-based, strengths-based tools needed to guide parents toward becoming the safe, attuned co-regulators their children need.

Objectives:
1. Identity and understand the additional developmental tasks for parents who are parenting a child with disrupted attachment, trauma/abuse and missed developmental milestones.

2. A brain-based developmental approach to empower parents and professionals to intervene in ways that meet the developmental needs of the child. 

3. Describe tools that are strengths-based and skill building (non-punitive) allowing parents/professionals to therapeutically address the deep wounds of loss, grief, rejection, shame, trauma, grief and emotional isolation.

4. Unprocessed parental grief, loss, early trauma can get projected onto a child and professionals need increased emotional intelligence and attunement skills to assist parents in learning tools for emotional regulation. 

5. Describe the four areas of Emotional Intelligence skills and identity tools to strengthen each of these areas for both the child and the parent.
