In every daycare group, there are approximately one to two children who have had to endure a traumatic experience, such as experiencing and witnessing violence and abuse, fleeing, death, or confrontations with age-inappropriate content in digital media. These figures indicate that the issue of trauma is not a distant problem; it can arise in the everyday work of early childhood educators. This practical guide provides foundational knowledge about trauma in children, including: What is trauma, what effects can it have, how can it be recognized, what should I do if I suspect it, and how should I behave? Following this, there is a wide range of information and resources on how children can be supported in a (trauma-)sensitive manner, including case studies, conversation tips, and numerous games and exercises aimed at strengthening and overcoming the effects of trauma.
