From trauma, stress, and hopelessness to safety, challenge, and optimism!
Not all children cope equally well with the stresses and traumas life throws their way, and every educator recognizes that "deer in the headlights" look some children get when current events and past traumas combine to trigger a fight-or-flight stress response. No matter how safe the classroom may be in reality, trauma deactivates cognitive skills, and learning cannot resume until the child’s equilibrium has been restored.
This important new resource helps educators understand how trauma and stress interfere with cognitive skills, and how classroom and school activities can be used to restore feelings of safety, empowerment, and well-being. Topics include: - Neurobiology of the developing child and how cognitive lock-out from the neocortex occurs during stress responses
- Strategies for reactivating cognitive skills, memory, and the ability to learn following stress responses
- How acting-out behaviors are linked to stress and trauma
- How to generate a united effort on school safety and violence prevention issues
Teachers, counselors, principals, and administrators will find that these innovative strategies enhance feelings of safety and optimism in all learning environments and programs, transforming hopelessness and anxiety into resiliency and hope. (20050301).

Making It Better: Activities for Children Living in a Stressful World
Being a kid in the 1990's is a challenge for any child. Here is a long-awaited and important new tool you can use to help children deal with the emotional and physical effects of the stress, trauma, and violence facing children today. Making It Better: Activities for Children Living in a Stressful World is a groundbreaking new book that gives educators, child care providers, and parents unusual and thought-provoking activities - activities based on sound research which will help lead children through a process of healing. Dealing with stress and trauma hinders children's ability to absorb information and learn to their greatest capacity. Since children spend one-fourth of their time in the classroom, author Barbara Oehlberg asserts that educators especially need to make an intentional and concerted effort to deal with the violence children face before they can help them learn. Those who incorporate the activities from Making It Better in their programs and their child's care may find children who are on the road to healing, learn better and behave more appropriately. Making It Better will make the classroom and the home a better place for children to chase their dreams..
