Your child experienced a traumatic event in the past month?<\/p>\n
In the first month after a traumatic experience, it’s very common for children and adolescents to have bad memories and to avoid things that remind them of the event (e.g. places, people, etc.). Young children can also become anxious about being separated from the parents, be nervous, or have problems concentrating. Such reactions are perfectly normal in the first few weeks and are no cause for concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
