Trauma can affect a child’s brain, body, behavior, development, and relationships.
But trauma does not have to define a child’s story. Safe, caring adults can help children experience something different.
Safety. Trust. Connection. Hope.

Yesterday, we once again delivered monthly groceries to two orphanages in the Lviv region of Ukraine.

We are truly grateful to everyone who helps us provide extra food and support to these children’s homes. Because of your generosity, we are able to continue being there for children who need care and support the most.

“Children learn and listen more willingly when they are met with kindness, empathy and patience; when their core need for connection or attachment is met.” ~ Vince Gowmon

“Connect and Redirect: When your child is upset, connect first emotionally, right-brain to right-brain. Then, once your child is more in control and receptive, engage the logical left brain to problem-solve or teach a lesson.”
Dr. Daniel Siegel

Here is something important to know:
Adults get dysregulated too.

It can show up as talking faster or louder, feeling tense, or becoming controlling. You may want to lecture, fix, or win the argument. You may feel irritated or numb, shut down, or withdraw.

This does not mean you are unhealthy, broken, or failing. It means you are human.

It is important to recognize these moments and have a plan for them, because your child can feel your response.

“For a child or an adult, it’s extremely powerful to hear someone say, ‘I get you. I understand. I see why you feel this way.’ This kind of empathy disarms us.”,
