Every child has unique needs that can vary significantly. Fostering a sense of belonging is a powerful first step in supporting them. This feeling of connection can ignite their confidence to embrace new challenges. By providing options and offering lessons that encourage diverse forms of expression, we open the door to their potential. Involving the family is crucial, as their support is a vital force in a child's journey of growth and discovery.

The environment in which a child grows up can significantly influence their development, and this impact is increasingly recognized. In California, training sessions are being provided for educators and caregivers who work with young children, focusing on Trauma-Informed Care. These sessions aim to equip professionals with the skills to support the children in their care better (Palmer, 2019). Additionally, many states are offering professional development opportunities to promote social and emotional learning (SEL) in classrooms.
