Episode 22: The Effects of Unresolved Trauma on Parenting

Topic: The Effects of Unresolved Trauma on Parenting Parental emotion regulation and coping skills in dealing with stressful events in life have a significant impact on the child’s emotional and social development, especially during infancy and early school years. Children typically learn to regulate their emotions better if their parents manage their own stress well. In contrast, unsupportive, distressed parenting can induce less effort in children to regulate their emotions and use effective coping skills in response to stress. We will discuss the unresolved effects of trauma when it comes to parenting with guest momologist and Behavior Specialist, Marcella Tarpley   Guest Momologist: Marcella Tarpley A native Californian and educator for over 20 years, Marcella Ann Tarpley is currently a Behavior Support Specialist for the Moreno Valley Unified School District.
