Today I want to talk about how things that happen to us when we are kids can affect us when we grow up.
It’s important to talk about this because it helps us understand why we might feel or act a
certain way as we get older. When we go through tough or scary things when we are kids, it can stay
with us for a long time. This is called childhood trauma. Trauma can be different for everyone. It can
be something like being in a car accident, seeing or hearing something scary, or going through a
very sad or hard time. Childhood trauma can affect us in many ways when we become adults.
Sometimes, it can make it hard for us to trust others or make friends. It can also make it tough to
manage our feelings and emotions. We might feel sad, angry, or scared even when we don’t want to.
Childhood trauma can also make it hard to focus on school or work. But it’s important to know that
It’s okay to feel this way, and it’s not our fault. Some people can help us feel better, like therapists
and counselors. They can listen to us and help us feel better about the things that happened when
We were young. It’s also important for adults in our lives to understand how childhood trauma can
affect us. Sometimes grown-ups can help us feel better by being patient and kind with us. So, we
need to remember that even though childhood trauma can affect us as adults, there are ways to
feel better and have a good life. Talking about it and getting help are important things to do. If you
know someone who might be going through a tough time because of something that happened
when they were young, it’s important to be kind and understanding. The trauma of a child could
easily trickle into adult life such as relationships and or feelings especially if the adult has
experienced something their adulthood that triggered her childhood. But getting the help a person
needs such as therapy or someone that can fill the hole that was put there when they were a child.
Thanks for listening and understanding. Childhood trauma can also affect how you act. You might
have trouble paying attention in class or doing your homework. You might also feel sick a lot or
have a hard time sleeping. Some kids who go through trauma might start doing things that are not
safe or good for them, like using bad words or getting in trouble a lot. But it’s important to know that
there are people who can help you feel better. Talking to a parent, teacher, or counselor can help
you feel safe and learn new ways to deal with your feelings. It’s also important to remember that the
bad things that happened when you were a child are not your fault. You deserve to feel happy and
safe When you have challenges in childhood, it can help you learn how to solve problems and be
good at doing things. Sometimes
People who had tough times as kids become creative and smart as grown-ups. They might have
great ideas and be good at making things better. Challenges in childhood can also help you
understand how other people feel. If you’ve been through tough times, you might be good at helping
others feel safe and happy. You might know what it’s like to feel worried or scared, and you can help
people who feel the same way. So, while it’s hard to go through tough things as a kid, it can help you
become an amazing and strong person when you grow up. It’s important to talk to someone you
trust, like a parent, teacher, or counselor, so they can help you feel safe and loved, and you can
grow up to be an amazing grown-up. Remember, you are strong and brave, and you can do great
things when you grow up!
