Becoming Trauma-Informed While Doing the Laundry: Research-Based Resources for Kinship, Foster, and Adoptive Parents

If you are raising a child with trauma, do you find yourself challenged even though you chose and love the child? Can’t figure out why your child is calm and loving one moment and escalated all of a sudden? Reward and punishment parenting and logic parenting models not working for you?

Get started on your road to being a TRAUMA-INFORMED parent… while you sort and fold the laundry!
