Conversations About Parent Threats Cards

Conversations About Threats cards provide a practical way for parents to explore the impact of their responses on their child. Each card outlines a scenario for parents to discuss, with the goal of exploring responses in a way that maintains safety and connection for the child. The cards also help identify threats and how to reduce their effects on the parent-child relationships, potentially reducing stress and promoting more secure bonds. The parent can identify their own situations and explore what has occurred in the past. The parent can be encouraged in what is already working well for them and role play other ways they could respond that builds parent confidence and parent efficacy.
