As Humans we are born as close to emotionally flawless as we will ever be. As kids we are molded by our experiences and the people in our lives. We are so impressionable in our youth that some sort of emotional trauma is inevitable.

There may be different levels of severity that one may suffer from. All the way from the child that was sexually abused and now feels ashamed and worthless to the child who was over protected and wanted for nothing, but now as an adult feels inadequate and hopeless.

No matter the life circumstances, there is no escaping emotional trauma. There is nothing we can do as parents or guardians to prevent our children from experiencing it in one way or another. We will not stop future generations from feeling this pain, but we can put a stop to their suffering of it. A good way to start accomplishing just that is for us adults to talk about how emotional trauma has effected us and more importantly what methods we have used to turn our suffering into empowerment
