Use empowering principles to address physical needs\, connecting principles for attachment needs and correcting principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. 3. Understand more about trauma and how it effects children in foster care and how best to respond to children’s needs. \nIn order to register for this training\, please login to Children’s Alliance and register through the portal.
