Are you looking for practical strategies to build attachment with your child? Jeanette Yoffe, MA, MFT, is a psychotherapist specializing in adoption and foster care with over 20 years of experience treating children with complex trauma. Her new book, The Traumatized and At-Risk Youth Toolbox: Over 160 Attachment-Informed Interventions for Working with Kids and Families in Foster Care and Beyond offers specific strategies and tools parents and caregivers can build into their family rhythms to promote regulation and healing in their homes.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Overview of trauma’s impacts on the brain, on learning, regulation, and on the ability to trust.
  • What does co-regulation look like between a caregiver and a child with a trauma history?
  • What are some simple, everyday things caregivers can do at home to support a child’s self-regulation?
  • What practical tools – activities or routines – will help us build emotional safety in our homes?
  • Why is play such a powerful tool for connection and healing?
  • Trauma often mimics ADHD or overlaps with it. How to help teachers understand what’s really going on.
  • How can parents or relative caregivers support our kids for homework, without turning the evening into a power struggle?
  • What kinds of professionals should we look for?
