Helping our children October 24, 2008
This is an extraordinary tool to help us to care about our children in everyday's life and happenings. It's great to know what can cause them any harm of trauma and how to prevent it or help them to heal it. It can help you also to understand your own fears and deal with them. Don't miss it!!!

Good Book September 29, 2008
This is a excelent and interesting book. I've gained a lot of good ideas for both my children and myself. It is a little long winded but I suppose healing trauma is a process not for those(often like myself)seeking instant gratification.br /

Thorough and Concise August 8, 2008
As an educator this book was extremely valuable in many ways. One of these ways was that it gave me insight into a child's brain that has experienced trauma. This book also taught me how to recognize the signs of a child experiencing trauma and how to assist ALL my students to move past and become unstuck from everyday to severe traumas. This book should be a must for anyone teaching children. If I had one wish I would wish the school system would tone down performance based learning and get the core of why a child thinks and acts the way they do. This book is invaluable.

Trauma Through a Child's Eyes: Awakening the Ordinary Miracle of Healing December 4, 2007

This is a fabulous book with excellent insight into the impact of trauma on the body. The authors offer a succint and easy read filled with information describing the dynamics of fight, flight or freeze that accompany every trauma. I gained not only helpful insight for working with children but insight into my own "freezes". Wonderfully helpful and a must-read for any parent or all adults working with children.

Best book in my library! October 2, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is the best book in my library! I keep it next to me and reference it frequently. I have given 5 of them to family and friends with children. It is a bible for dealing with children who have been affected by trauma. Truly comprehensive, it provides a sensible protocol for understanding and healing trauma. Pre and peri natal issues are addressed as well. A must have for parents. Peter Levine and Maggie Kline have created a book for the ages.
