Parents should understand that scary and abnormal events  - let it be any kind of abuse, natural disasters, accidents, manslaughter, death, financial issues or even moving - which happens with children, will qualify later as childhood trauma. This could require professional help and it is curable to recognize them in time.

Another important fact to highlight is that each child deals with traumatic events in its own way and teenagers’ reactions and point of view will also differ from children’s. However, under no circumstances should parents ever avoid lending a hand their children if they recognize behavioural changes.

Let us suggest the below novels, which shows us the impacts and resilience childhood trauma has on individuals:

  • The Children’s Blizzard” by Melanie Benjamin tells us about the 1888 blizzard aftermath in Dakota, Minnesota and Nebraska and how two young teacher sisters’ life decisions defined not only their but their young students’ lives as well.
  •  “Only Child: A Novel” by Rhiannon Navin is about a family, that lost their 10-year old son in a school shooting, surviving every day with their traumatized younger son who also contributes to bringing family life back to normal again.
  •  “The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell” by Robert Dugoni is a story about a young boy’s journey to adulthood who was bullied, called names, went through abuse as a child at Catholic school, succeeded in life as an eye doctor but questioning happiness and the meaning of life even as an adult.
