An abridged edition of a special issue of the Zero to Three Journal designed for the many people who care for and/or come in contact with young children -- parents, child care providers, teachers, police officers, community leaders, health and social service professionals, and mental health practitioners. The authors, including Joy Osofsky, Charles Zeanah, Michael Scheeringa, Theodore Gaensbauer, Marva Lewis, Betsy McAlister Groves, and Margie Wagner, guide readers through recognizing the full range of symptoms and behaviors that may stem from infants’ and toddlers’ exposure to violence; supporting those giving care to traumatized young children; and designing and carrying out treatment plans to help children and their families cope and recover.
