Still using sticker charts and token systems to manage behaviour? For children with trauma histories, these methods often backfire. Instead of building motivation, they can deepen shame and disconnection.

🧠 “Trauma-Informed Behaviour Support”
This course breaks it down simply:
✅ Why rewards and punishments miss the mark with trauma
