How to identify Developmental Trauma Disorder in your child
12/22/20 • 23 min
Developmental Trauma Disorder is a little known phrase that is only now beginning to gain traction with health authorities.
Why is it important?
As this week's guest, Sarah Naish, explains - it is the right term to describe the behavioural characteristics displayed by children due to neglect and trauma or by those who experienced serious pre-birth problems.
All too often, their symptoms are diagnosed as post traumatic stress disorder complex. But this is not the correct diagnosis and can lead to wrong assumptions by professionals that end up with the child being misdiagnosed.
As Sarah says, "it's time we woke up and smelt the coffee and recognise developmental trauma for what it is".
As mentioned on the podcast, you can find Sarah's book "The A-Z of Therapeutic Parenting" here

How to Understand your Child's Malfunctioning Internal Working Model
You may be puzzling over why your traumatised child's behaviour around birthdays and festivities becomes even more challenging and difficult than normal.
Our expert guest on the podcast this week, Glynis Hough, is a Foster Parent with decades of experience, a parent of multicultural children, a former social worker and a parent coach.
She’s been been involved with the National Association of Therapeutic Parenting (NATP) since its inception.
Glynis explains in detail why your traumatised child's ability to trust adults - profoundly undermined by their early life experiences - makes them question their own sense of self-worth.
This leads to all sorts of complicated and unexpected behaviour patterns at any time, but particularly during family celebrations.
Here Glynis talks about her own experiences and effective strategies for coping.
