On October 9th from 7pm to 8pm, Nurturing Change will host an online event for parents called “Healing Kids’ Brains, Emotions, and Behaviors: An Introduction to TBRI®.” During this time, we’ll learn how stressful events change kids’ brains and why these changes cause traditional discipline approaches not to work.

"Let children know you are always open to their questions. Before you answer it can help to ask the child, “What do you think?” or “What have you heard?” Sometimes, children may understand more than we realize, may have misinformation, or may have a much simpler question than we assume. If you know more about what the child is wondering, it can help you give a simple and honest answer." "It’s okay if you don’t know an answer to the child’s question. You can let them know, “I wonder about that, too” and that you will share as you learn more. It can help to ask the child more about what they are feeling. Simply listening to the child’s feelings around their uncertainty can help them feel safe."

There are so many children from hard places whose trust has been severely damaged. When a child is first born he or she learns to trust through the nurturing relationships around them. However, when a child experiences trauma, loss, or abuse that ability to trust is damaged. This is displayed through their behaviors and actions. Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI)® seeks to repair and nurture healing relationships. This promotes: → fewer placement breakdowns → fewer transitions → improved outcomes for vulnerable children & families → connection with vulnerable children who have a history of trauma → and more! TBRI® provides practical tools to see the "whole child" and helps them benefit from a nurturing, trusting relationship with a safe adult.
