Helping Them Heal How Teachers Can Support Young Children Who Experience Stress and Trauma Karen L. Peterson, PhD A young child’s brain is uniquely sensitive to the effects of stress and trauma, which can have detrimental, long-term developmental impact. Helping Them Heal explains how trauma affects the developing brain, how those changes can manifest in the classroom, and what teachers and caregivers can do to help a stressed, abused, or neglected child. It provides answers, ideas, and specific classroom strategies to move trauma-affected children in positive directions. Early childhood educators will learn ways to help children build resilience, self-regulation, and self-competence using this sensitive, supportive, and practical guide.

The Welcoming Classroom: Building Strong Home-to-School Connections for Early Learning Johnna Darragh Ernst, PhD The children in today’s early childhood classrooms are more culturally, linguistically, and ability diverse than ever. Teachers are challenged to partner with each family through recognizing their individual strengths, concerns, priorities, and resources.

In The Welcoming Classroom: Building Strong Home-to-School Connections for Early Learning, Dr. Johnna Darragh Ernst offers practical ideas for creating a welcoming atmosphere for families that will encourage them to participate in their children’s learning community. From improving children’s school readiness to encouraging positive engagement with peers, promoting student academic achievement, increasing graduation rates, and helping reduce the negative impact of poverty, the benefits of engaging families early will impact the young children long after they leave the classroom.
