When a child from a hard place doesn’t feel safe, the result is often behaviors that appear willful, baffling, and infuriating to caregivers. How we respond is critical.

Trust-Based Relational Intervention^® (TBRI^®) has developed a guideline to help. Watch as we walk through the IDEAL Response^© for dealing with behaviors and building connection between the child and caregiver.

This TBRI^® Animate was created in collaboration with Cognitive story-telling and animation studio, most known for their work with RSA Animate. Using animation to share TBRI^® was a dream of Dr. Purvis’s, and we are especially grateful to Producer/Writer of this project, Cynthia Hall for her creativity and understanding of TBRI^®. It is our hope that the TBRI^® Animates will inspire parents and professionals across the world to bring deep healing to vulnerable children.
