What does back-to-basics, trauma-informed care look like?

Recently, I wrote about what I consider to be therapeutic (re)parenting for children who are recovering from trauma at home. You can read that post by clicking here. In this article I provide a description of what therapeutic parenting looks like when viewed as enrichment of conventional aspects of parenting that support recovery from trauma at home.

It is not an exhaustive list, but may provide some useful ideas about where to start. I would encourage readers to subscribe my site as I will be releasing more specific guidance shortly.

1. Provide routines and boundaries: These support experience of order and consistency, where once there was chaos and inconsistency. Simple things like a consistent mealtimes, bedtimes and one-to-one activities (including bedtime rituals).
