Module 6 – Trauma & impacts on behaviour – Carer

A Guide for Foster & Kinship Care Practitioners

Why this resource

Many children have lived through experiences that felt overwhelming or confusing, and this can shape how safe they feel, how they relate to adults, and how they show their needs through behaviour. This resource helps carers understand behaviour through a lens of safety and connection rather than blame. It explains why children may react strongly, withdraw, or struggle with trust, and reminds carers that these responses are not deliberate or personal but connected to a child’s trauma.
