Children’s reaction to trauma is in many ways similar to that of adults, but unlikey adults, children may feel utterly helpless and lack understanding of what is going on around them. Trauma also upsets the delicate balance of parent-child relationships; the child’s confidence that his parent will always be able to protect him may be disturbed, and the parent’s sense of his role as protector may be severely undermined.
