Description: "The effects of childhood trauma are unpredictable. How can emotionally scarred children best be helped in processing horrific experiences? In this program, the victims themselves provide the key as a diverse group of children ranging in age from 2 to 11 share their thoughts and feelings on the September 11th terrorist attacks. Interviewees include those who lost family members on 9/11, those who live near Ground Zero, and those whose fathers serve in the U.S. military, as well as refugees from Afghanistan and elsewhere. Young as they are, they convey a reassuring lesson in coping skills and a surprisingly mature understanding that life brings the tragic with the joyful."--Container.
