Title: Can disasters make children subsequently more emotional?
Post by: Rio Popper on 17/05/2010 10:30:02
Rio Popper  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Hi,

I've been hearing that kids  aged 7-9 are more easily upset.

Some people blame it on 9-11, thinking that we would be emotionally harmed by it.

Is that possible? If so, why and also would other disasters like
tsunamis cause the same thing?

Thank you,
Rio Popper
