In this episode of TRIBE Talk, we explore how friendship difficulties are shaped by complex and developmental trauma, and why it is essential to understand the pre-requisite skills children need before they can successfully build and maintain friendships. We focus on the foundational emotional, relational, and regulatory capacities that are often overlooked yet are critical for meaningful peer connection, offering a trauma-informed perspective on what children truly need in order to develop friendship skills over time.
