Childhood Trauma is any scar left deep in the mind at a young age due to events that happened in their past.

What are the problems faced by children, & which are all childhood traumas?

---

A lack of affection children always want to be shown affection and they crave for it a lot. With the right amount of affection, thrive and develop well. Without any attention children easily get depressed.

Children being left to fend for themselves some children have not enjoyed their childhood because they had parents who did not care for them. Leaving them to care for themselves. A situation like this makes the child feel the absence of love, with feelings that they are being abandoned, isolated and anxious.
This affects their trust in people and their view of authority.

The need for children to prove themselves and compete: a situation where children are constantly compared with others and made to feel inferior and defeated. This takes away their self-esteem and can have serious psychological on the child. They may develop a hatred for the child they are compared with and have serious psychological trauma.

Bulling at school or at home some kids will want to stop schooling because they are being bullied at school. They will ask the parents to change their school because of bullying. Children like that may start having poor academic results and my feel traumatized.

How to protect children from social bullying?

Make your child know that you will always support them. That you are ready to listen to them when they report a bulling. This will make them free to say it when bullied.
A child should be thought how to resolve conflicts by providing the child with imaginary situations and letting the find a way out.
A child should be thought to say no and mean it, firmly confronting the bully without making it worst.

How to educate our children about good touch and bad touch?

Start by helping the young child identify what private parts are, this includes breast, vagina, buttocks and penis. You should not touch any body's and nobody should touch yours.

As a girl, Nobody should make you seat on their laps be it uncle, friend or neighbors. Anyone who tauches should be reported to Dady, mummy or the teacher.

What do we have to sacrifice to raise a good child?

Everything
To have success in the child rearing process, we have to sacrifice everything, our time, our money, our comfort, our looks , our freedom, our career and everything.
If you don't allow your career to suffer for the sake of your kids, then you will have problems raising them.

They need plenty of your time to watch them and correct them because the will always do things that can hut themselves, you have to be there all the time. It's a full time job.

For you to keep them health, you will have to spend money for them. Cloth them, feed them and educate them in school.

You can not go to places you always did anytime you want again. Your movement is now restricted and you can't do so many things again because you have them around.
