What to do if your child witnessed a violent event?

Unfortunately, no one is exempt from witnessing a violent event

By: Diana Arreola. Psychopedagogue

 

Unfortunately, no one is exempt from witnessing a violent event:

-Assault

-Discussions out of control

Fights between football fans

These events generate a trace in our memory that, if not worked on in time, can become a TRAUMA for the mind.

Fortunately today we know that when we ORDER the violent experience we can dominate it and place it assertively in our emotional system.

Resources like:

-Talk about what happened

-Draw what we remember

-Validate what we feel

They are very supportive when experiencing a crisis.

If you require more information on how does the child’s work?

I suggest you read this extraordinary book:

“The child’s brain”
