Written By Tanya Camp

This course will cover why triggers happen and how to respond to them.

Do your child's reactions seem bigger than they should be to everyday events? Are your reactions sometimes a bit too big? What causes us to get triggered by our kids or to trigger them? In this course, talk with Dr. Tripp Ake, a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience in the field of child trauma treatment. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University Medical Center and the program director for the National Child Traumatic Stress Network.

This course covers the following learning objectives:

•       Identify the cause of triggering as the result of trauma.

•       Explain the difference between being triggered and being annoyed.

•       Give an example of how a child's behavior can trigger a trauma response in the child.

•       List two universal tips for improving a child's behavior.
