Before Knowing that parents are stressed in this difficult economic period, it is safe to say that our children experience stress, too? How? What could they experienced as children? The best way I have come to understand to help others, as children experience stress around you: take a walk through the forest. It 's a beautiful day. And 'quiet. You're all alone and feels at peace. Suddenly we heard a branch break. The silence is broken, and wonder what might have caused. They orient to the area where the sound came. Will be exclusively focused, scanning the environment, sensing that something is wrong and you could be in danger. The key word here is reasonable. They feel a tight throat, perhaps, his knees trembling, butterflies in the stomach. If you believe that your brain and body, this one may be in danger, is a sensual experience. The oldest part of our brain – the reptilian brain or animal – warns us to communicate through language – feelings – for us who are threatened and may have to fight for our survival. For children, this economic crisis and stress called him to his house to enter the brain's woods.Children shop 'animals are the most developed of the brain. Your cognitive brain, the center for food stamps and the reason and intellect, has not developed (and is still not fully developed until they are in our mid-20s). Children have better access to their animal brain and actually live longer in a sensory modality, collecting everything that happens around them. That is, as their survival is guaranteed. In milliseconds and the time – is an unconscious, automatic process – the animal in the brain of every child to acquire the environment is to ask: "I'm fine?'m Fine?" If my survival assured?

With his brothers and friends, may seem irritable, pushy, aggressive or because they feel somehow threatened – because otherwise they feel inside so nervous? "It must be because you're threatening me." Third Children may be traumatized, in fact, what is happening around them and how do we know if our child has been traumatized?

It 's the kind of environment from that instability which can be harmful, especially if a child already at risk or vulnerable because of past experiences of trauma or a lack of availability caused resources.That doubt that type of injury can be a child. So I often ask parents worried when their child has ever suffered a trauma, and their response is always: "No, never." But when I approach and ask detailed questions about accidents, accidents, falls, hospitalization, surgery, medical or dental procedures that experienced in utero and at birth, I get a different answer.
