Trauma as a Child. Always help the Child.

Trauma as a Child.  Always help the Child.  We each have had trauma before we became an adult.  How we deal with that trauma is another thing.  What choice’s we make going through that trauma is another thing.  How we make that choice and the consequences of that choice.  Trauma is different to different children and in different families.  What might be a small thing for one child is a big thing to another.  However, it is up to YOU, the adult, to help a child through any trauma they have to go through.  How are you going to handle that trauma?  What are you going to do for YOUR child?  Trauma as a Child.  Always help the Child.

It is not always easy to come up with a solution to what trauma affects a child.   But, here are some ideas:  therapy(I especially like the Talk Therapist); more physical activity;  more academic work;  art classes,  music classes.  And there are all kinds of City programs in YOUR city I am sure.  I believe if a child has a lot of anger it would be best if they got involved with martial arts.

Trauma as a Child.  Always help the Child.

Trauma can last a lifetime.  It should not, but my sister lost her grandmother when she was 5 and never got over the trauma.  My parents were pretty stoic and never talked about her death and so Nam was just gone for Sally.  Not a good way to handle death.  Death is a major trauma for children.  The adult or guardian needs to think and go through what would be best to help the traumatized child.  Trauma as a Child.  Always help the Child.

Keeping as positive on moving forward for any trauma is good.  And that is hard to do with all of us being unique.  But, know the likes and what brings Joy to the Child helps.  Maybe, they could keep a journal.  And they could write a story about their love and friendship with the person.  Trauma as a Child.  Always help the Child.
