Trauma

Being pulled away from the only people you know as family, moving from foster home to foster home, being physically abused, and verbally abused can all hurt a child and cause them to have some sort of trauma. "Unresolved trauma significantly increases the risk for failure or poor life outcomes," ("Kids Peace"). Many foster care children were not given the emotional and essential needs at infancy," (Lezman). Trauma can be caused by many different thing, but all trauma is a problem and is not the child's fault. People who have been through trauma recover on their own time ("Trauma & children"). Many foster kids have some kind of trauma but the most important thing to remember is that it is not there fault that they were abused, verbally or physically. Many of the kids in foster care can not trust an adult due to trauma. These kids did not ask to be abused, left, and none of them asked to lose their only family. These reasons often cause trauma (Lezman).
