This journal is about an experiment conducted on children and young adults, and the
conclusion is that if trauma is caught earlier on then it can be both prevented and
diagnosed.

The author's credentials come from a teaching background at Columbia University.
Thus, it is written in a formal tone where Bonnano addresses the varying impacts
trauma has on adults and the ways they handle it. This article can prove valuable in my
research paper as it covers adulthood and their development.

This journal is another statistical source to use. It is full of factual evidence and uses
the scientific approach towards the trauma and development. It also talks about
different ways to treat trauma in children and the techniques used to prevent and help
children grow into adults that can conduct themselves in an appropriate manner as
opposed to the many ways they can lash out.

As stated in the article "A representative population sample of 1420 children aged 9,
11, and 13 years at intake were followed up annually through 16 years of age.". Which
indicates to me that this article will be more factual evidence to use in my paper, along
with methods used to treat patients with severe trauma and further educate me on more
information i have not yet discovered about this topic.

The psychological aspect is heavily talked about in this journal entry. The scientists
and authors that contributed to this talk about the ways the brain is effected when it
comes to trauma inflicted on children. They also talk about how sometimes children

can be misdiagnosed or given the incorrect type of medicine based on false prognoses.
This article will help me further understand what are some of the common
misconceptions when it comes to how children are categorized based on psychologists
and their sometimes wrong diagnoses.

This article discusses how sexual abuse inflicted upon children can lead to depression,
low self esteem, and many other contributing factors that lead to disrupting their
development. I can use this source in my paper when I discuss the many different
attributing traumatic events that impact a child's development ina sexual manner as
opposed to seeing traumatic events. This source also comes with actual clinical trials
and experiments conducted to see the factual evidence of how sexual harassment and
development in children is directly correlated.

This section from the book is strongly based on the aftermath process of traumatic
events. The purpose of this section is to show the differences in how such traumatic

backgrounds.
