Are You Traumatizing Your Children?

We repeat what we learned from our parents when we raise our own children, unless we make a conscious decision to do something different. Many of the methods that our parents used to make us do what they wanted were abusive and cruel. We accepted it as normal because everybody's parents were doing the same thing. Now that we are seeing our children manifesting such extreme behaviors, violence, sexual promiscuity, drug abuse, suicide, we have to realize they are acting out from the trauma they experienced. Where did it come from? Are we traumatizing our children?
