Brain Development

Risk Factors•Difficult pregnancy 

• Can be for reasons including medical, drugs/alcohol, crisis or other trauma. 

• Can be due to persistent, high level of stress throughout pregnancy. 

•Difficult birth • A difficult or traumatic birth is risky for many reasons (e.g., perhaps the newborn was briefly without oxygen, leading to mild neurological insult). 

•Early hospitalization • Children who experience early hospitalization often experience painful touch rather than nurturing, comforting touch in the first days of life.

Risk Factors•Abuse

• Children from abusive backgrounds know to always be on guard. Their brains have been trained to be hyper vigilant to the environment around them. 

•Neglect • The message sent to a child from a neglectful background is ‘you don’t exist.’ 

• Children from neglectful backgrounds often suffer from the most severe behavioral problems and developmental deficits. 

•System Effects• Neighborhoods, schools, environmental

•Natural or Man‐Made Traumas • Any number of traumas in the child’s life (witnessing an extreme event, for example) can cause the child’s developmental trajectory to change in response.

Brain Architecture is Built Over Time

•The early years matter because the interaction between early experience and gene expression shapes the maturing architecture of the brain 

•The development of the brain incorporates experience, whether positive or negative, that shapes the brain’s capacities

Understanding Brain Growth

•Prenatal•First Year•(Age 5)•Age 8•Age 12•Age 16

Brain Architecture is Built Over Time

•Brain development is built in a hierarchical, “bottom‐up” sequence, with advanced skills built on more basic capabilities 

•As it develops, the quality of brain architecture establishes a sturdy or weak foundation for learning and behavior

Fight, Flight, Freeze

•Brain responds to primitive level when children:•Feel out of control•Receive too much sensory input

•Do not receive enough sensory input

Fight, Flight, Freeze

Flight Examples• Running away• Distracting behavior

• Changing subject

Fight Examples

• Hitting

• Kicking

• Yelling

Freeze Examples• Melting down• Whining/ Clinging

• ‘Zoning out’

Trauma and the Brain•Children who experience trauma may fail to develop the part of their brain responsible for executive function –emotion, reason, rational, etc.

•Complex Developmental Trauma affects all areas• Brain

• Less “grey matter” and significantly fewer neuropathways• Beliefs

• Dysregulation, disconnection, and distrust• Self‐harm, high risk behaviors – substance abuse and promiscuity

• Body• More prone to chronic illness• Lower body weight and stamina

Chronology vs. development vs. emotional Age

•Take a child’s chronological age•Half it – that’s their developmental age•Half that – this is their emotional age

•Suddenly, you’ve gone from working with a rowdy 14‐year old to working with an upset 3.5‐year old 

•The good news? Children’s brains are plastic and we can change the chemistry to catch up with development and chronology

3 Pillars Trauma‐Informed Care

1. Safety•Felt safety•Give the child a voice

2. Connection•Relationships are the most important part

3. Coping•Teach kids how to regulate themselves

Trust‐Based Relational Intervention (TBRI)A trauma informed approach for working with children.

Trust‐Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®)

•What is TBRI?•A holistic intervention that has been developed over the past decade

•An evidence based practice that meets the needs of the “whole child”

•An approach to caregiving that is developmentally respectful, responsive to trauma, and attachment‐based

Who uses TBRI®?

•Principles of TBRI have been used in homes, schools, camps residential facilities, day cares 

• It is designed for use with children & youth of all ages & all risk levels

Felt Safety

•Children who aresafe don’t necessarily feelsafe.

•What helps children feel safe?

You must be thirsty!

Functions of Sensory Input

•To alert the body and brain to important cues

•To protect the body and brain from becoming overwhelmed

•To select what is important to attend to

•To organize the brain automatically

•During first year – early toddler•The adult is solely responsible for meeting the needs of the child

•Child is hungry, adult feeds•Child is code, adult warms

Co‐Regulation

•Toddler and pre‐school years•Child learns to identify needs and seek help•Child may identify hunger, adult will meet need

•Adults and children work together to share regulation of child

Empowering Principles: Ecological Strategies

•Daily Rituals•Transitions

Have you ever been sitting at your desk, concentrating on a project and all of a 

sudden the fire alarm went off?

Imagine the following scenario for a child:

•Lindsey is sitting and coloring at the kitchen table. 

•Suddenly, she hears her mother say, “Put your crayons away. Put your shoes on and get in the car. We have to go to the post office, the grocery store, and pick up the dry cleaning.”

Daily Rituals

•Establish and practice routines; e.g., what to when you arrive, what to do when getting ready in the morning, etc. 

•Post a schedule and give notice if it is going to change. 

Transitions

•Daily transitions•Life transitions

Transitions

•During daily transitions, provide warnings leading up to the transition; e.g., • “Five minutes until we go to lunch,” • “Three minutes until we go to lunch,” • “One minute until we go to lunch.”
