Perry, Bruce Duncan. Identifying and responding to trauma: Ages 0 to 5 years old. Barrington , IL : Magna Systems, [2002].
Young children are either pre-verbal or inexperienced with verbal language and consequently are unable to adequately express their thoughts and feelings or describe threatening life events. In order to understand a child's behavior and plan for care and intervention it is necessary for the caregiver, teacher, or health care provider to determine the child's history and emotional state from other sources. Segments in this program include Determining the Trauma, Guidelines for Caregivers, Non-verbal Interaction, Significant Loss, Dissociating, Being an Example, and Acceptance. Particular emphasis is given to a discussion on how caregivers and teachers can intervene to build trust and provide guidance, predictability, and support.
