It is likely that you are in a relationship with someone, or have a family member who has experienced childhood trauma. It is not likely that you think about that when you are trying to communicate to them or understand how they are communicating to you. About 60% of adults report some form of adverse experience in childhood. Not all traumatic experiences are created equal, so when we speak of childhood trauma, some distinctions need to be considered.

Germaine Douglas’ son, Kairos, has decided he wants to become the UK prime minister when he grows up. One day during lockdown, the south London mum walked into the living room where her 12-year-old spends much of his time and asked why he had the TV on while studying. “I like to hear the news updates when I’m working,” came his response. “I don’t want to miss something important.” “I have never been able to get my children interested in the news or politics,” Douglas tells HuffPost UK. “My child is now definitely more politically aware than before this, 100%.”...

I took her advice to heart and stepped out in faith that she was on to something. As she shared about Morning Time, it reminded me of the Bible Time my mom did when she began homeschooling.
