{"product_id":"children-and-trauma-equipping-parents-and-caregivers","title":"Children and Trauma: Equipping Parents and Caregivers","description":"\u003cp\u003eChildren can experience trauma from a variety of experiences, including neglect, physical, sexual, or psychological abuse, death of a loved one, bullying, racial trauma, and more. Trauma occurs when children are exposed to an experience perceived as threatening or harmful and respond with intense fear that affects them physically, emotionally, and spiritually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthors Justin and Lindsey Holcomb help parents and caregivers recognize the signs of trauma and guide them in stepping into children's lives and demonstrating Jesus's care and protection for them. The compassionate and helpful response of parents or caregivers can help children who have experienced trauma to access spiritual, emotional, and physical healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelping children feel connected and loved, giving them opportunities to express what they're feeling, providing any necessary professional care, and being patient with behavioral outbursts will all go a long way toward helping children heal. Knowing that God sees, cares for, and understands their suffering will help a traumatized child move forward in their healing. Reminding them that one day all pain and suffering will cease can help turn their minds away from anxiety about future trauma and toward promised future peace and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/newgrowthpress.com\/book-author\/justin-s-holcomb\/?showHidden=true\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eJustin S.
