by Peter A. Levine, Ph.D. & Maggie Kline, MS, MFT
The number of anxious, depressed, hyperactive and withdrawn
children is staggering-and still growing! Millions have experienced
bullying, violence (real or in the media), abuse or sexual molestation.
Many other kids have been traumatized from more "ordinary" ordeals
such as terrifying medical procedures, accidents, loss and divorce.
Trauma-Proofing Your Kids sends a lifeline to parents
who wonder how they can help their worried and troubled children
now. It offers simple but powerful tools to keep children safe
from danger and to help them "bounce back" after feeling scared
and overwhelmed. No longer will kids have to be passive prey
to predators or the innocent victims of life's circumstances.
In addition to arming parents with priceless protective strategies,
best-selling authors Dr. Peter A. Levine and Maggie Kline offer
an antidote to trauma and a recipe for creating resilient kids
no matter what misfortune has besieged them. Trauma-Proofing
Your Kids is a treasure trove of simple-to-follow "stress-busting,"
boundary-setting, sensory/motor-awareness activities that counteract
trauma's effect on a child's body, mind and spirit. Including
a chapter on how to navigate the inevitable difficulties that
arise during the various ages and stages of development, this
ground-breaking book simplifies an often mystifying and complex
subject, empowering parents to raise truly confident and joyful
kids despite stressful and turbulent times.
Peter A. Levine, PhD, has an extensive background in stress and psychology. He is the developer of Somatic Experiencing , a naturalistic approach to healing trauma, and teaches this work throughout the world. Dr. Levine served as a stress consultant for NASA, and does so currently for The Meadows, a leading residential addiction recovery center. A best-selling author of several books on stress and trauma, he lives in the Rocky Mountains.
