Survival requests/needs isolation. Labeling emotions would be a really big help. Asking a kid why they aren’t like the other kids negates their reality. They are the equivalent of a war survivor. Whatever that war was, they are reshaped and beyond normal.
Thank you. Why is this not a more discussed topic?! We need more testimonies like this one, we need more survivors of trauma to speak up so the silenced ones become empowered more frequently. Not only that, but we need more people to understand this information so we can change the school systems, and education requirements for teachers. I am a survivor of seeing DV as a child and experiencing it for myself. A survivor of CSA. I am also an unofficial educator, and deal with many young children. I see other adults treating "bad" kids like they're trying to be disruptive, as if they should be like everybody else, and they seem to believe they can force the "disobedient" behavior out of kids, and it makes me so angry. This kind of education about children and their emotional states, in connection to their home lives is intrinsic to successfully giving our children the best we can.
So one thing that comes to mind as you present your own experience: We need to keep in mind you are sharing your perspective, a valid one, but perhaps not accurate. You may have been a complete disruption to the rest of the kids. You leader seems to may have implemented a popular discipline measure (not right for you) and usually the people that work in this positions are mom volunteers doing their best. What I’m saying is you are not the only victim…. Sadly, her people hurt people. Thank you for sharing from your point of view.

Because of stigma and shame. People don't want to hear it. It needs to change.
Excellent meeting you Tracy. You have opened new doors for me. Bellingham gardener
