New Issue of Young Children Added to UNT Dallas Library Collection

In this month's issue of Young Children, Katie Statman-Well discusses traumatized children and how teachers can best help these students in her article "Creating Trauma Sensitive Classrooms." About 26% of U.S. children see or experience trauma before age 8, and about 686,000 children were abused or neglected in just 2012 alone. Traumatized children will experience problems in a number of areas in life like language and communication, social and emotional regulation, building relationships, and play. Statman-Well offers several ways to help these children feel safe like simply maintaining a classroom routine or telling the children when something out of the ordinary will happen. This is an important article for anyone in the field of education since it is probable any number of students in a given class will have experienced some sort of trauma.
