| Publisher Description: **Completely Updated in December/2016**This book explains the kinds of tragedies, traumas, and losses that our children experience. It also spells out the effects these losses have on our children, whether physical, emotional, social, or academic. Tragedy, trauma and loss that are experienced by children, and are not treated when experienced, can cripple a child's ability to develop healthy relationships. This untreated trauma can also lead to anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and abandonment and trust issues. When a child undergoes a traumatic experience, his/her sense of security and safety is shattered to create a new and potentially frightening world around him/her. These traumatic experiences can negatively affect the behavior of the child and often disrupts their mental and physical development. This handbook will provide a guideline for parents to spot the common symptoms of a child suffering from trauma. It will also give the basic classifications of traumatic experiences, the psychological and physical long term effects if childhood trauma is left untreated, and a closer examination of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).The long term negative effects of trauma on the brain, the body and the emotional or mental health of an individual is quite shocking as we read the research. A child or teen who suffers from a trauma or loss may not be easily identified unless the family becomes aware or conscious of the child's behavior.It is a sad fact that we can't prevent trauma and loss in everyday life. We can however help our children thrive as adults by using the information in this book to help heal the wounds of loss and trauma early in life. Take some time and go through the many Links, YouTube Videos and Apps listed at the end of this book. You can never have too much information. |
