An array of big and little traumas
and losses, early on and even later, can impact
regulation (see below for “Benefits of Healthy
Regulation”), attachment and bonding in a
parent/ child relationship. It can also impact
the behaviors, happiness, social and
cognitive success of a child.
We will be talking
weekly with different, respected specialists in the
fields of
regulation,
attachment, and
trauma.

depression, serious illness, medical or other
trauma during their pregnancy or 1st 18 months to

or domestic violence during the gestational period
with their child or within the first three years
of their child's life
- Children who have medical impairment/issues
involving auditory, vision, tactile senses (can
create difficulties in attachment due to more
limited opportunities to see, hear, and feel
through touch, information which helps calm, build
a “sense of self” and of relationship to others)
- Any parent or child with difficulties with
regulating emotion or managing anxiety
- Parents with a child with challenging
behaviors

childhood neglect and loss
Benefits of Healthy Self
& Emotional Regulation:
- Being able to calm,
self-soothe with change, upset, transition, or when
“triggered”
- Being more available for reciprocity
in relationship, for giving and receiving,
for trust being the foundation in relationship
(rather than control) in order to feel safe
- Having more capacity for
increasing social skills and success
- Having access to qualities of
empathy, consciousness, and concern for
one’s impact on other (humans, animals, the
environment)
- Being more resilient and
less vulnerable to self-esteem issues and negative
or distorted thinking
- Reserving more capacity
for learning since learning happens
best when our concentration is “on” due to feeling
calm and safe in the world
- Having increased ability for a
chosen response rather than reacting
- Being physically more
integrated, coordinated, and at ease in
one’s own body & with physical boundaries—having
a sense of strength and resources within
