evokes fear. It is commonly violent, dangerous, or life-
threatening. Also sometimes referred to as adverse childhood experiences or ACEs, there are many different experiences that can lead to trauma. Some are: Physical or sexual abuse, . One- time events like a car accident, natural disaster (like a typhoon), the loss of a loved one, or a major medical incident can take a psychological toll on children as well. Ongoing stress, such as living in a dangerous neighborhood or being the target of bullying, can also be traumatic for a child—even if it just feels like daily life to an adult.
So now, whenever you witness or experience any form of
parental abuse, you know the reasoning and the fruits that it bears.
