Childhood Trauma and PTSD

When exposed to a traumatic event, children as young as 18 months can have serious emotional and behavioral problems later in childhood and in adulthood. More than 35 percent of children exposed to a single traumatic event will develop serious mental health problems.

With help from families, providers, and the community, young children can demonstrate resilience when dealing with trauma. Visit http://1.usa.gov/eURFX5 to learn more.

Among even very young children, ages 18 to 36 months, exposure to potentially traumatic events is associated with a range of socio-emotional and behavioral problems that may compromise healthy development and place them at risk for persistent serious psychological problems later in childhood and in adulthood.1 More than 35 percent of children exposed to a single traumatic event will develop a serious mental health problem.2

Research has shown that caregivers can buffer the impact of trauma and promote better outcomes for children even under stressful times when the following Strengthening Families Protective Factors3 are present:
  • Parental resilience
  • Social connections
  • Knowledge of parenting and child development
  • Concrete support in times of need
  • Social and emotional competence of children

At a loss of what to do 2.5 years ago my 3 children watched their little sister get hit by a car and killed the same weekend that we were moving out of our home and out outta state because their father was leaving us. My son now 9 years old has PTSD and I feel as if I cannot teach him the things a parent needs to a child so they can because a happy succesful adult because everytime he is asked/told to do something he does not like he has a complete melt down including tears, voilence and sucidal thouhgts.

I was abused by my brother when I was 8. He is 3 years older than I am. My mother walked in on him and I in his bed. My parents both blamed me for what happened. I had been trying to get help since then. I was denied every attempt. I moved out at 19 and have been working with a few different counselors to resolve my PTSD. I am still working through it. But I wanted to comend every parent that goes to great lengths to help thier child work through their trauma. My life is proof of the encredible damage neglect can cause. And for those that did not have the oportunity to help early, I found a book that has helped me. To Soften the Blow by Lynnie Vessels. Again, Thank you for loving your children and for helping them while they are still young and can have ample time to recover and grow beyond their trauma.
