CH (CPT) Heather Davis 358629 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Children who live with a traumatized parent are influenced by the PTSD symptoms that the parent displays at home. The emotional instability that comes with PTSD becomes embedded in the child. Trauma can be passed from parents to their children (intergenerational transmission of trauma) and the children can start displaying the symptoms of PTSD as well (e.g., start having nightmares about the parent’s trauma, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, emotional numbness etc.). 2014-12-07T01:04:57-05:00 CH (CPT) Heather Davis 358629

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I believe this assessment is 100% correct ma'am. Starting from a very young age, children will begin to emulate a multitude of things that their parents do. I see a lot of this, especially with psychological ideas and traits. It is the child's norm, because they don't really know or understand anything else but what they learn and see their parents do.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I just recently heard something about this but I can't put my finger on it right now. Maybe tomorrow after some coffee but I think they called in 2nd hand PTSD. Much like 2nd hand smoking.
