Parenting is tough enough without the added challenge of childhood trauma. In this episode of Sober on Purpose, Scotty Aemis shares his eye-opening journey of adopting children from Russia and navigating the complexities of trauma. Scotty dives into the heart of how trauma can shape a child's behaviour, often leading to a life of hypervigilance and emotional turmoil. He offers practical advice on creating safe spaces and building trusting relationships to help children heal.
Scotty also highlights the importance of understanding trauma as a brain injury, much like a broken arm, that requires specific care and attention. His experiences, from dealing with child services to finding the right school environment, provide invaluable lessons for any parent or caregiver facing similar struggles. You'll learn about the 'three R's' - Regulation, Relationship, and Reason - as key steps in helping children move from a state of fear to one of trust and growth.
Scotty's heartfelt stories and actionable tips make this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to support children through trauma. Don't miss out on this chance to gain new perspectives and practical tools for your parenting toolkit.
