Creating a Safe ProgramChildren who have witnessed violence or a traumatic event need a loving environment where they have time to heal and release stress. Childcare providers can establish this safe place by evaluating their activities, planning for group activities that use teamwork, letting children ask questions and make decisions, looking at things from all angles, and by providing many opportunities for children to engage in free play, share, help, and participate in cooperative, non-competitive games.
