How do I help my child get over the trauma of a trip to the ER?

Kids can be pretty traumatized by a trip to the Emergency Department (ED), so when you get home, talk about what happened and reassure your child. Answer any questions that may come up. Sometimes, younger children work out their feelings through play, by drawing pictures, or by talking about the hospital.

Experts say this is a normal way for them to “desensitize” themselves. If they got a shot or had blood taken, they might want to play with a toy medical kit and pretend to be a nurse giving shots. Reliving the experience can be their way of dealing with their feelings once the emergency is over.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
