About this document
Supporting Children After Trauma by Veronica Hernandez is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Children of different ages react to traumatic events in developmentally specific ways. Preschoolers may feel helpless, fearful, and lose skills. School-age children worry about safety and feel guilt. Adolescents feel self-conscious and withdraw or engage in risky behaviors. Parents, schools, and communities should comfort children, help them express emotions, provide security, acknowledge feelings, and encourage open discussion to help children cope.
