Traumatic Experience in Infancy: How Responses to Stress Affect Development

I'm often humbled as I listen to some of the sad situations that children and families are experiencing.  As I read this article about the impact of traumatic stress on very young children, any of you could have been sharing a similar story. The work confirms the importance of sensitive and caring adults who can recognize and support the child's expression of trauma- induced stress.  This comes from the Zero to Three Journal.
