Childhood trauma very common, according to study

Posted on May 8th 2007 6:41PM by Brian White
According to a new report from U.S. researchers, about two-thirds of American kids will go through some kind of traumatic event in their childhoods, although few of them will suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.

With divorces, moving and school all combined into a precious few years sometimes, it's not hard to see why kids are increasingly seeing more childhood trauma rates.

In a way, many kids will have an increased emotional resilience, although the researchers were quick to point out that children will process traumatic events differently than adults.
