A Way of Being with Children (PreK Edition)
A Trauma- and HOPE-Informed Guide for Adults Who Care for Young Children
The newly revised A Way of Being with Children PreK Manual from the Center for Child Counseling is a practical, research-based resource for educators, caregivers, and mental health professionals supporting children from birth to age 6. Grounded in trauma-informed care and the HOPE (Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences) framework, this manual offers easy-to-use strategies to build emotional safety, strengthen relationships, and respond with compassion to challenging behaviors.
Developed by experts in child development and early relational health, the manual helps adults create safe, nurturing environments where young children can learn, grow, and thrive—even in the face of adversity. Through real-world examples, scripts, and reflection tools, it guides adults in showing up with presence, empathy, and consistency in everyday moments.
Support every child by transforming how we care for them—one relationship at a time
