Based on the required and suggested course readings as well as your research of the websites of the National Center for PTSD, NOVA, and the NCTSN, post an analysis of the developmental differences in reactions to trauma between young children and adolescents.

Discuss two or three specific examples of differences in probable reactions to a personal crisis such as illness, divorce, relocation, or deployment in a 9-year-old and a 16-year-old. How might a school counselor advise parents to help their children cope in the wake of these events?
