Too Scared To Cry: Psychic Trauma In Childhood

When children witness or experience sudden, shocking events, how do they assimilate the horror? Terr found they don't simply forget and grow up unscathed.

The stories here will break your heart, but Terr's advice for aiding traumatized children can help counter the blows of a violent world.
