"子供たちは傷つくからトラウマを抱えるのではなく、その傷と一人で向き合うからトラウマを抱えるのです"

Simplified Meaning:
When kids go through a painful or scary experience, what really hurts them deeply isn’t just the event itself, but feeling like they have no one to turn to for support. Imagine a child who falls and scrapes their knee; if no one is there to comfort them, the pain feels much worse. It's like being in a dark room with no one to hold your hand—feeling alone makes everything scarier and harder to deal with. In history, during times of war or natural disasters, children who had someone to care for them afterward often recovered better than those who felt alone. To help kids cope with hard times, it’s important to be there, listen to them, and show that you care. Knowing they’re not alone can make a big difference in their healing process.
