Traumatic events are defined by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network as "terrifying, dangerous, or violent events that threaten the life or physical integrity of a child. Trauma is described as what happens when someone experiences a sequence or set of circumstances that make them feel physically or emotionally insecure. Trauma-focused treatment can be defined as treatment that focuses on the physical, psychological, emotional, and/or physical effects of a traumatic event.

Children who suffer from their traumatic stress are more likely to be exposed to one or more traumas during their lives, which causes a series of reactions that persist after the events have ended and affect their daily lives.

Parents who suspect that their child is experiencing trauma should have it examined by a specialist specializing in the trauma treatment of childhood. Seeking therapy and guidance from a mentally ill person can help process current emotions and develop healthy coping skills to cope with existing and future stressors that may occur in your life and be related to trauma from past childhood.

With the help of coping tips, you can help children to overcome the symptoms of traumatic stress, restore their sense of security, and leave traumatic events behind.
