Although some stress is normal and even healthy, toxic stress is not. Children who have experienced a trauma often feel helpless and hopeless and live in a constant state of worry and fear. This toxic stress negatively influences every aspect of the child\u2019s development. Some of the most common experiences among children living with toxic stress include:<\/p>\n

Hyper-vigilance<\/strong>
\nAlways anticipating something bad to happen, feeling jumpy and nervous, distorted perception of others\u2019 non-verbal body language and facial cues.<\/p>\n

Avoidance<\/strong>
\nShuts down easily when negative situations arise, uses food, alcohol, drugs or other addictive behaviors to numb out.<\/p>\n

Negative cognition<\/strong>
\nInaccurate beliefs about oneself, others and the work around them.<\/p>\n

Emotional distress<\/strong>
\nDepressed, anxious, feelings of helplessness and hopelessness.<\/p>\n

Health problems and somatic complaints<\/strong>
\nStomachaches, headaches, physical health problems such as obesity and hypertension.<\/p>\n

Difficulty with relationships<\/strong>
