More stress hormones in the body and a more difficult time settling down after experiencing stress.
The connection between the brain and the immune system explains how stress can cause physical problems with health and disease. %����
Fortunately, the effects of childhood trauma can be mitigated and even reversed. This is because an infant/child who is raised in a safe and supportive environment has ample opportunity for exploration as well as the availability of comfort from a trusted caregiver.
academic research has extensively documented the link between trauma and poor academic outcomes, Two-and-half times more likely to repeat a grade than are children who have experienced none; [, More than twice as likely to be suspended from school.
It is the brain’s plastic quality that allows us to learn, grow, and adapt to new situations.
But it is unfortunately this same feature of the brain that causes trauma to have a profound effect on the developing brains of children.

Linkage Between Trauma and Learning 2 Traumatic situations can impact a student’s learning … In many adult brains, or the brain of an individual who has only experienced predictable and infrequent trauma, once the threatening experience passes, the brain returns to a baseline state. If the threat continues, the brain will then enter either what is commonly referred to as the "flight or fight" response or a "freeze and surrender" response. Some of the problems related to repeated and long-term exposure include: Less ability to react in ways that match the situation.

As is well known, the acquisition of academic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics requires “attention, organization, comprehension, memory engagement in learning, and trust.” [7] Complex childhood trauma, by rewiring the brain so that the triggered fight or flight and dissociative responses are easily triggered, impairs students’ ability to operate in each of these areas. But it is unfortunately this same feature of the brain that causes trauma to have a profound effect on the developing brains of children. If the threat continues, the brain will then enter either what is commonly referred to as the.
