    When their Overreacting is Actually a Trauma Response

    Does your child or teen tend to overreact with excessive and prolonged drama or explosive behavior? Understanding how trauma affects their ability to calm down is crucial for adoptive moms. Traumatized kids often have hyperactive amygdalas, making it challenging for them to down-regulate from a heightened state and remain calm. This physiological response means that what seems like an overreaction is actually their brain's way of coping with past trauma. Adoptive moms should recognize that extra time and space are not only helpful but essential for their child's healing process. Providing a safe, comforting environment and practicing patience can significantly aid in helping these children manage stress. Additionally, incorporating tools like calming essential oils, weighted blankets, or noise-cancelling headphones can create a soothing atmosphere. Staying calm yourself and offering a steady, reassuring presence are vital steps to support your child. Remember, you're not alone in this journey; resources like the "Circle of Second Moms" guided support group are available to assist you.
