Children, who experienced a severe trauma or were prolonged or repeatedly exposed to traumatic events in the past, can show symptoms and behavioral problems for a long time afterwards. Over time such experiences can affect the development of a child.<\/p>\n
Let your child fill out the Trauma-Check<\/strong> to check whether professional advice is recommended (not before at least 1 month has passed since the traumatic event(s)). Studies show that parents tend to underestimate the psychological stress their children experience following traumatic events, compared to their self-reported problems. This applies in particular to thoughts and mood (e.g. whether and how frequent unwanted images are experienced) and emotional problems (e.g. feelings of guilt, shame, etc.). Therefore, have your child fill out the Trauma-Check<\/strong> to get a more accurate assessment of the problems your child might experiences. Afterwards, discuss the result together and involve your child if you are looking for professional advice.<\/span><\/p>\n In case your child shows specific symptoms, your child also get tips on how to cope with them.<\/p>\n\n\n
