Early childhood trauma generally refers to the traumatic experiences that occur to children aged 0-6(United States Department of Health and Human Services). Due to the fact that these children are so young in age compared to older children, they may not be able to verbalize the traumatic experience that is happening to them, whether it may be sexual, physical, emotional, or mental. One of the major side effects of childhood trauma at such a young age is long-term depression and anxiety, along with bi-polar and multiple personality disorders(Winona State University, 2011).
