Trauma in children is shockingly common — almost half of all children have experienced at least one significant traumatic experience.  Yet trauma-engendered behaviors are often met with ‘What’s wrong with you?’, when, as our guest Dr Bruce Perry relates, the question should be ‘What happened to you?’  His co-authored book with Oprah Winfrey helps us disentangle trauma, as well understand the powerful, protective role of healthy relationships with family, community, and culture.
