Is my daughter traumatized?!


Question: Is my daughter traumatized!?
A very long time ago, I was walking with my daughter to grab a bite to eat, when suddenly we saw a little doggie being abused by after school kids!. He got kicked in the face!. Then out of fear, the little dog ran across the street and got runned over (got killed) by a car!.
My daughter cried so hard when she saw this, that till this day, every time she remembers, or tells the story, she still cries!. This happened when she was only 5 yrs old!. She is 34 now, and I am concerned because out of my 4 kids, she is the only one that has such strong sentiments and feelings that she even cries with sad CARTOONS!! like the "ugly duckling"!.!.!.!.!.Does this mean she was traumatized by the incident that happened 29 years ago when she was 5 yrs of age!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I think that it just means she has a big heart!. Its good that she cries when things are sad or when someone gets hurt etc etc!.
If she starts crying all the time for no reason at all then i would worry!.!.!.otherwise pat yourself on the back for doing a good job raising a child into a caring adult, theres absolutely nothing wrong with that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Im traumatized just listening to the story!.

Not much to say, have you asked her!? it dosent seem to major, maybe she was just alwasy sensitive!.

If its not affecting her life majorly then theres no real problem!. Dont go looking for issues and start implanting ideas into her mind that arent there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If your daughter functions well (meaning does the daily, normal stuff we all do: make bed, get dressed, go to work, pay bills, has friends and interests), then don't worry if she is a sensitive soul!.

I cry easily!. My family treats me badly about it (Don't tell her that Mom's in the hospital, she'll cry)!. Big deal!. I am normal in every way!. I just have a soft heart!Www@Answer-Health@Com

She probably is!. Since this started at a very young age, she probably saw this, and was not ready for it, so it was a much bigger blow to her than it would be to anyone else!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well!.!. dogs, duckling!.!. she loves animals!.

i feel like crying when i see any hurt animal, too, so it seems normal!. That is a terrible story, and I couldn't imagine witnessing it!.
