Children who have been exposed to neglect often have parents who experienced their own childhood neglect and/or trauma (defined as childhood physical, sexual or emotional abuse, exposure to life threatening events, domestic and/or community violence, parental mental health disorders, substance abuse, and/or incarceration). These parental experiences of neglect and trauma during childhood are associated with disengaged and ineffective parenting behaviors and disrupted attachment processes between the parent and their own child. Disrupted attachment can result in the child exhibiting physiological dysregulation and behavior problems, which pose barriers to the child's academic and social success/development. Often, unresolved intergenerational trauma makes treatment of children with trauma and its sequelae, including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, attachment disorders and dysregulation characterized by emotional lability, hyperarousal, and sleep and attention disturbances, difficult to manage.
