  Kids only seem resilient because they have no other choice but to put up with the adversity and survive . They’re helpless and powerless.
context: I always saw it as like them getting hurt. Like falling down and scrapping their knee or burning themselves. Every human is resilient in that way, you’ll get over it. >
  
  This is not an unpopular opinion it's a fact. Childhood trauma is deadly. My question has always been: why are we made to traverse a trauma filled world and not built better equipped to handle it? >
  
  Because the common opinion is that kids are just fine and will grow up either way. >
  
  This is exactly right. The core demographic of childless 20-somethings on reddit is really apparent here.
  Kids come out feral. They're not equipped to even feed themselves for several years let alone handle trauma. But the array of what kids can adapt to and overcome with parents who love and guide them is vast. >
  
  Kids can be resilient to many external factors (e.g. poverty, sickness...) as long as the family environment is healthy and supportive.
  Also notice that being resilient does not mean not being impacted by traumatic events, it means being able to overcome them in a healthy way. >
  
  As someone who’s working with foster kids. They absolutely are not and will in fact remember EVERYTHING they don’t block out.
