This free Children's Trauma Responses Wheel from the Social Workers Toolbox explains the four common survival responses- Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn- showing both what these responses may look like in a child's behaviour and what the child may be experiencing beneath the surface.

The guide also includes practical, relationship-based strategies to support children, including:
✨ Creating safety through predictable routines and clear boundaries
✨ Staying calm, connected, and emotionally available
✨ Validating children's feelings and experiences
✨ Supporting co-regulation before addressing behaviour

A valuable free resource for foster parents and anyone supporting children who have experienced trauma.
