I talk with the founder of Knightlamp Consulting and child trauma specialist, Stephan Friedrich, about the misconceptions around developmental trauma and what actually happens in early childhood that can lead to lasting impacts. Knightlamp is Australia's leading consultancy in trauma-informed practice and uses their expertise to effect healing, change, and an improved life trajectory for children, young people, and adults.
Stephan explains how the brain develops in the first few years of life, why traditional parenting approaches using rewards and consequences often fail with traumatized children, and the importance of focusing on physiological regulation and creating a sense of safety to help these children heal and thrive. He also offers actionable strategies you can begin implementing right away to support the children in your life who may be affected by childhood trauma.
