Trauma informed parenting is a way of parenting that takes into consideration a child's previous experiences of trauma or stress, and responds to them in ways that promote healing and growth. Trauma refers to any event that causes a person to feel helpless, overwhelmed, and powerless, and may include experiences such as abuse, neglect, violence, or natural disasters.

When children experience trauma, it can affect their brain development and behavior in ways that disrupt their ability to form healthy relationships and regulate their emotions. Trauma informed parenting involves a shift away from traditional, punishment-based approaches to parenting and towards a more empathetic, understanding, and supportive approach that helps children feel safe, seen, and heard.

Some key principles of trauma informed parenting include:

1. Safety - ensuring that the child feels safe and secure in their environment and relationships
2. Trust - building a relationship of trust with the child by being consistent, reliable, and honest
​
3. Empathy - being able to understand and validate the child's feelings and experiences
4. Awareness of triggers - being aware of the child's triggers and avoiding anything that might retraumatize them
5. Support - providing the child with the emotional and practical support they need to overcome their trauma and build resilience.

Trauma informed parenting can involve different types of interventions, including therapy, mindfulness practices, and alternatives to punishment such as positive reinforcement and logical consequences. It's important for parents to educate themselves about trauma and its effects on children, as well as to be willing to seek help when necessary. By adopting a trauma informed approach to parenting, parents can help their children heal and thrive, even after extrauma-informedicult and traumatic events.
