    In a novel by M. Straus, entitled "Beating the Devil Out of Them" she speaks about how violence against children may begin with the intent of punishing a child, but instead is merely a way to inflict pain on the child. Adults are so much larger than children and can hurt a child so much that the child has to be hospitalized, or even worse, they die. In my current field of social work, I see many children who have been injured, beaten or worse by their parents. They cannot trust adults as easily as other children can.…

    Throughout most of modern history, the principal belief was that children were unaffected by traumatic events that happened in their lifetime. In recent years, however, child psychiatrists like Dr. Bruce Perry have worked with children, doctors, and parents to help expand recognition that children are in fragile developmental states and a traumatic event can have many detrimental effects. In his novel, The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog, Dr. Perry introduces many of his patients that have had a lasting effect on his knowledge of traumatized children, and how to treat them. While with each new child Dr. Perry learned something new about treating traumatized children, however every child needed three basic necessities in order to recover: physical affection, a safe environment, and the opportunity to grow. If a child is not given enough physical affection, the result is detrimental to both their emotional and physical growth.…

    Childhood trauma is prevalent in society today. With all of the recent natural disasters that have been occurring recently, it is almost inevitable that children will be impacted by these events and left with memories that may scar them for life.

    “Trauma involves the experience of an event that is emotionally painful or distressful, which often results in the development of traumatic symptoms that have lasting mental and physical impacts” (Milne & Collin- Vézina, 2015). Most people have experienced trauma in one form or another and did not have any long-term effects from the situation; for example, starting high school was a traumatic event that did not create any long-term effects. On the other hand, there are several traumatic experiences that can create long-term effects, such as war. Another one of these experiences, which is much closer to home and not as famous in the social media world, is children who are involved in child protective services and placed in out-of-home placements.…

    My initial reaction after reading Bruce Perry’s article on the neurodevelopmental impact of violence in childhood was understanding. Having a neurobiological explanations for the consequences of trauma helped me understand the long lasting and damaging effects. I, then, related this information to my own personal knowledge of the effects of childhood trauma. I found it very helpful that Perry pointed out the different kinds of trauma such as manipulation, degradation, and coercion. These means of aggression are often overlooked as credible reasons for trauma but they can be just as damaging as physical violence.…
