What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Peter Levine and Maggie Kline have done an outstanding job of helping parents, and everyone else, to understand the different kinds of trauma children may face. I have done a lot of work in therapy around my own traumatic childhood event and was able to try out many of the easy-to-follow exercises they provide. I truly felt a relief and peacefulness that I had never felt before. I treasure this book and hope you will too.”—Violet Oaklander, PhD, author of Windows to Our Children and Hidden Treasure: A Map to the Child’s Inner Self
“If you’ve ever wondered how to help children navigate the rough and tumble vicissitudes of life, this book is a godsend.”—Sandra Blakeslee, co-author of The Body Has a Mind of Its Own
“This book is a must for every parent, teacher, coach and scout leader. It helps us to understand the stages of childhood development and supports parents in dealing with each stage more appropriately and sensitively. It is a pioneering work, a pioneering insight and a pioneering triumph. It is visionary common sense, pure and simple.”—From the foreword by Mira Rothenberg
“Trauma-Proofing Your Kids is an important tool to help parents and all adults deal with children that have experienced trauma. Understanding that trauma is a part of life should signal all of us to prepare ourselves for the inevitable.”—Ron Scruggs, athletic coach, parent and grandparent
