This theme helps participants understand why traditional parenting is not effective for children who have experienced separation, loss, or trauma. The theme helps identify parental strengths as well as the need to adapt parenting techniques to support these children and helps to create awareness of changes needed to be made to parenting values and beliefs. The importance of adapting parental expectations, the need to not take things personally, and the value of cultural humility are highlighted. Characteristics for successfully parenting children who have experienced separation, loss or trauma are identified, including flexibility, patience, nurturing, compassion, and sense of humor.
