As the days have passed and the images of the continued suffering of the people of Japan have flashed before our eyes in the United States, I can’t help but wonder how the children of Japan are being impacted throughout this catastrophe. A child’s perception of the world, especially young children thrust into a traumatic situation, is exponentially vivid and visceral. Young kids do not possess the mental fortitude to comprehend such devastation. Instead, their experience may become internalized and manifest nightmares for years to come. These children will require constant attention and reassurance in order to thrive in the future.
