Events in which a child’s or a family member’s life is threatened may be particularly traumatic. Young children’s perceptions of the degree to which a crisis threatens or undermines their relationships with parents or guardians and other important caregivers-including early childhood educators-often determine the amount of stress children experience. Stressful and disruptive events can range from minor family crises (cancellation of a family vacation) to major family crises (parental divorce) to community disasters (widespread flooding) and international crises (pandemics). Young children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of community disasters and other crises and traumatic events.
