What do you feel when you think about your childhood? Do you think of it as a happy place you’d give anything to get back to, or would you rather pretend it never happened? Unfortunately, sometimes parents are not the ones who know best, and the choices they make while raising their children can leave their children traumatized. Here are some of the common mistakes parents make that can leave their children traumatized.

Disclaimer: This video is not made to attack anyone who may display these signs, but rather to understand them and bring more awareness to the topic. Sometimes these mistakes they make are really honest, accidental mistakes, made because they don’t really know better, but sometimes they can be a result of simply not caring enough.

We also made a video on the signs of childhood trauma: https://youtu.be/EHj9Apr49ME
