Trauma is affecting our children and teens in alarming rates. Do you know if your child is traumatized from a recent event? Tonight, we talk about the symptoms and how they impact them in the years to come. Our guest tonight, will walk you through the process.

TAKE AWAY:

When children begin to see the  images of trauma they will begin to normalize those incidents.


Videos of traumatize events on social media can cause post traumatic stress

Parents shouldn’t ask the child, “What’s wrong with you” parents should properly ask, “What has happen to you”
