Traumatic events, such as accidents, loss, or violence, can deeply affect children’s emotions and behavior, leading to stress and anxiety.

Children may show fear, nightmares, withdrawal, aggression, or trouble concentrating after experiencing a traumatic event.

Recognizing Signs of Trauma in Children

Reassure your child that they are safe. Offer comfort, patience, and stability to help them process their emotions.

Providing a Safe and Supportive Environment

Allow your child to express their feelings through words, drawings, or play. Listen to their fears without judgment.

Encouraging Open Communication

Teach calming techniques like deep breathing, mindfulness, and relaxation exercises to reduce stress and fear.

Helping Children Manage Anxiety

A structured daily routine, including regular meals, sleep, and playtime, provides stability and security for recovering children.

Maintaining Healthy Routines

If trauma symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a child psychologist can help with therapy and coping strategies.
