Understanding Stealing & Lying in Children Who Have Experienced Trauma

Have you ever wondered why some children who have experienced neglect or trauma may steal or lie?

For many children, these behaviours are not about being “naughty” or dishonest. They can be survival responses shaped by past experiences, fear, shame, or anxiety.

Join us for an informative and supportive session designed for parents, foster carers, kinship carers, and anyone supporting children who have experienced trauma.

During this session we will explore:
• Why stealing and lying can occur after trauma or neglect
• What these behaviours may be communicating
• The impact of trauma on the developing brain
• Practical, trauma-informed ways to respond in the moment
• Strategies to build safety, trust, and emotional regulation

This session aims to help carers and parents better understand the “why” behind behaviours, while offering practical tools to support children with compassion and confidence.

📍 Online via Zoom
⏱ Duration: 1 hour (might go longer)
💲 Cost: $15
📅 Date: Thursday 2nd April at 8pm

This is a safe and supportive space to learn, reflect, and ask questions.

If you support a child who has experienced trauma, this session may help provide valuable insight and practical strategies.
