Guevara 1 Caitlin Guevara Professor Brasel EEC 3700 Jan 15, 2024 Reaching and Teaching Children Exposed to Trauma  Chapter 1: Defining Trauma 1. I made a connection o “Traumatized and neglected infants show little interest and ability to engage in playful interactions.” - The importance of play touches on every aspect of a child’s development, in and outside of the classroom. 2. This part is confusing, this part is important o If a toddler is gorging or hoarding food. – This part is important because it also ties into teaching children how to have good eating habits and building a healthy relationship with food. If they aren't, it can be a sign of trauma and lead to eating disorders when they are very young. 3. This is my favorite or an AHA! Part o “The body is a historical organ, and it keeps score... The trauma is literally encoded in the psyche and in the cells of the body, and its effects are felt throughout the biological system." 4. I learned something new, (including the definition of an unknown word that you looked up)

Guevara 2 o Complex Trauma: “the experiences of multiple, chronic and prolonged, developmentally adverse traumatic events, most often of an interpersonal nature.” 5. I inferred from what is written here o “The development of a baby is an interactive project and not the result of a simple unfolding of nature.” - What I inferred from this part of the text was not only that raising a child is not as simple as it seems to be, but that it is a complex experience. It reminds me of the saying “it takes a village to raise a child,” and it is true. A child’s development and well-being are based on so many varied factors, and it can depend on the individuals that surround the child and those who are directly influencing that child’s life.  Chapter 2: The Stress Response & Fear-Based Behavior 1. I made a connection o “I believe we have bought into this myth because our culture needs resilient children.” - This reminded me of a lot of things I used to hear growing up and even now. Growing up, many people are told by their parents and other adults what they need to be, that it doesn't give us a chance to learn and grow to try and figure it out ourselves. It is indeed fear inducing; fear of failure, fear of disappointment, it can be suffocating. 2. This part is confusing, this part is important o “If we look at the facts, we find that children aren’t quite as resilient as we would like to believe.” - I found this part to be important because of the

Guevara 3 immense pressure people put on a child to adapt to their environments and experiences, especially if they are adverse. We need to allow children to be children, and they aren’t as prepared for these major life transitions and experiences. 3. This is my favorite or an AHA! Part o “Chronic trauma keeps the stress response stuck in the ‘on’ position, and the brain and central nervous system never have a chance to recover.” 4. I learned something new, (including the definition of an unknown word that you looked up) o A child who is diagnosed as “oppositional defiant”: A child that lives in freeze mode. They are so overwhelmed by fear that memory shuts down, and they are unable to process and respond to instruction. Their lack of compliance is misinterpreted as rebellion. 5. I inferred from what is written here o “The amygdala comes online between the fifth and sixth month of pregnancy at which time the developing baby begins to feel fear.” - This is why it is advised for pregnant individuals to have reduced stress levels during their pregnancy. The child can feel and hear everything that the mother is feeling and hearing, and that is directly affecting their development.
