After I watched the video it made me sad because it makes me think of all the children that go through things like this. It also makes me think that our job as educators and parents is crucial to the development of young children. The video mentioned an infant that was having night terrors and it was due to the parents constantly arguing. This video goes to prove that the environment of an infant is super important and if they cannot feel safe it will effect their development.

After watching this video not only did I think it was very sad to watch but I also thought that it was very informative. It's important that every parents knows that the first 5 years of a child's life is very important that they should always be treated kindly and care for. For their whole lives they should never be abuse because there could be consequences for the child's life in the future that they have nothing to do with.

Watching the video was tough to see, After all the readings and intreaction activity I see how brain development is so sensative for infants and toddlers. Children who experience chronic stress and adversity live with that "blueprint" for the rest of their lives and it effects their brain development tremendously. As educators and care givers we need to make sure that a child's building blocks for theri brain development are secure and full of positive experiences and interactions. I also wanted to pint out my aha moment was when it was said that a lot of children get mislabled as bad or defiant, when in reality it's how they deal with their stress and it's their survival strategy. thought that was interesting.

I found this video very informative, giving me lots of new information that dealt with the topics of violence, stress and how all of it can affect on the way a child can grow up. It's sad to see how these children struggle growing up physically and mentality not being able to get chance to enjoy their childhood. People right away judge them as being trouble makers from where they come from instead of asking them how they are feeling or how can I help you get out of that situation. This video just made me realize that not all children grow up in a loving family but have to face many obstacles that are affecting them in the way they develop.

After watching the video, i lean a lot from the video it had very informative information. it was hard to learn about the children that get abused and how it influences in the children's lives and how this can affect them as they grow up. i really liked watching the different scenarios. children need to feel safe and secure at all time.

After viewing the video, I had to take a moment to reflect on my own upbringing. As it was highlighted that habits can be passed down from one generation to another. I grew up in a house where it was full of a lot of love, yet was disciplined through yelling. I've seen that I've adopted that myself at times, yet through learning about alternative ways that aren't unintentionally harmful to children, I've caught myself. It has taken some time to think beyond moments of frustration and regulate my own emotions to support the learning and development of my younger siblings. The video was heartbreaking to see especially noting how the effects of stress and violence in the home greatly negatively impact a child's brain. The common misconception of how babies don't understand when they experience domestic disputes.

After watching the video, something that really stood out to me was that they mentioned that children who grow up around domestic violence are at higher risk for mental health problems than those who are direct victims of physical abuse. This really caught my attention because you would think that children who face physical abuse suffer emotionally and physically (they lose their security and identity) as opposed to children who experience domestic violence and suffer emotionally because their sense of security is broken. Turns out that its quiet the opposite. This video was very informative.

# data[].attributes.body
As I watched this video I gained a lot of new knowledge about how violence and abuse can affect a growing child. Not only did I gain knowledge on how abuse and violence can affect children but also stress. Children can carry the experience they had as children with abuse, violence and stress into their adult life which leads to other issues. This video made me think deeply into children's experiences as a growing child that will affect them in the long run.

After watching the video, I found it to be very informative and gaining a new perspective on how abuse and violence can affect young children. It's heartbreaking to learn that their are children who are being abused and how it truly impacts them negatively and how it may affect them as they grow older. As well as learning about the amount of stress the young children are experiencing and how that also affects their brains which are still developing.

Watching this video was shocking for me because I never realize how a violence's environment can damage babies. Heard moms in the video crying because they did not want to hurt their babies and at the same time blaming themselves for the environment they allowed in the house touched me. I have a kid and I'm a single mother; last thing I want to do is to hurt my son. This information is important for parents because they can have an idea of how important is for babies to have a strong relationship with parents and caregivers.

Watching this video really touched me. You never really know what type of environments people are living in and hearing all of these stories really made me feel for those people who's stories go unnoticed. Living in environments such as the ones shown are very traumatic for people and can leave them with all different types of mental health issues or other problems in the future. This video made me really think about what I would want to do in situations like that if I ever have to face them.

# data[].attributes.body
This video was really informative and it has a lot of knowledge on how stress, violence, and abuse can affect children. The effects that violence has on children can be lifelong especially when they have no outside help. Something that stood out to me was how there are people who label these children who have gone through violence and abuse or have seen it are labeled as difficult and troublemakers but that is not the case. These children need help and assistance because being exposed to negative environments like this can deeply effect these children's mental health and overall life.

I thought the video was very informative and it helped me to understand the negative impacts of environmental influences on young children. It was interesting to see how in scenario they showed us the three children, the one who was impacted the most was the baby. It’s really upsetting that children who experience violence on a daily basis will be negatively impacted on their development and are put into constant fear. This can also lead to mental health issues which is something that is important to be aware of in young children because it affects them for the rest of their lives

This video opened my eyes to just how critical the environment is for a developing baby and the long term effects that it can have on them. The effects of stress, negligence, violence, and other negative factors can have really damaging effects on a child. The main take away for me though would have to be the part about the three children in an abusive home, and how the infant who was less than a year old had more long lasting effects than their older siblings. Before this video, I was one of those people that thought that babies were too young to remember or too young to understand. This video had so much information that I never knew before about a child's developing brain, such as the brain's ability to heal itself and create new neurons. My first impression of this video was that a lot of what I thought I knew before was actually incorrect.

after watching this video it opened my eyes on how much stress affects the brain development and how it may lead to future mental health problems. i was taught that if children witness or experience abuse wether it was physical or a type of neglect it will affect the child behaviors and responses in the future. in a different video i have seen that if the child is experiencing a form of neglect at a young age they will become emotionless in the future. for example if the child is being abused or not looked after they would cry during the abuse or the neglect but if the action of the adult or the abuser dont stop after a while the child will stop the crying because they see that abuser is not stoping and from here the child will become emotionless to the abuse.

Some of the main take aways from this video was that any amounts and levels of stress can alter the brain heavily. In addition to this children who are exposed to abuse in the home whether it is mental or physical abuse will often lead to mental health issues. Some thing that really stuck out to me was the story of the young boy who had suicidal thoughts. I think more often than not we don’t realize the trauma that children are experiencing in their homes and so when things are put into perspective and told to you like this it really it’s quite hard to hear. This is where we as educators should do everything in our power to be able to ask questions and check in with our students because we don’t know what kind of homeless they have and even though they can tell us one thing but really have another going on at home if we’re constantly checking and making sure they’re OK if they decide they want to open up to us than they will.

After watching this video I gained a lot of knowledge and found many parts to be very interesting. My first impression of children experiencing domestic violence or even verbal abuse was that I found it very interesting. I knew that domestic and verbal abuse altered a child's life but I did not know how. I did not know that when fear was instilled in a child it affected their brain. Young children should never have to go through experiences like this at such a young age.

# data[].attributes.body
My main takeaway from the video was how harmful experiencing stress and domestic violence at such a young age really is. It was so mind blowing to realize and see how a child so young could experience mental health issues, that part of the video really stuck out to me because I have young children in my life who are eight and would never want them to feel like they need to end their lives. I think it's extremely important that parents find healthy ways to deal with the stress they go through, especially with young children in the house. Setting an example and providing a safe home for children is crucial for their development.

My main "ah ha" idea is when they mentioned that until you die we have the ability to add new neurons and it can become rewired and it can heal itself. It was also really surprising to me because even though we might go through something horrible such as violence the brain can easy heal from the damage that the moment might have had occurred. Another key point that I would like to mentioned is of how important it is for a child to have a healthy home and a healthy relationship with their families because it can become beneficial to them and it can become the best thing for them because when they see violence it becomes nightmares to them and as parents and educators we need to care for our children and always make them feel safe and not exposed.

# data[].attributes.body
My main takeaway from the video is that stress can alter the brain heavily. Exposure to abuse, both mental and physical, can change the way a child will respond to situations that effect them. It is alarming to see how many children get abused, and bullied and how it effects how they see themselves and how they treat others.

# data[].attributes.body
My main takeaway from this video is how trauma and unhealthy habits can be passed down over and over again to each generation unless you actively work to change that. I grew up in a house with a lot of yelling and arguing and it is constant work for me through meditation and therapy to make sure that my children do not grow up in the same environment that I did. What surprised me was that in the one household with the older boy, the 6 year old girl and the 6 month old baby, that the baby was most disturbed by the domestic violence. Before watching this video, I too believed in the myth that babies are too young to understand what is going on during domestic disputes.

# data[].attributes.body
My main Ah Ha idea came from the segment of the video that discussed the perspective of a young boy discussing suicidal ideations of another young boy at age 8. I think we do not discuss enough how absolutely terrifying it is that children so young could be exposed to things like suicide or violence to the extent of physically self-harming himself in front of another child. It is so important that children are advocated for and kept far away from individuals willing to expose the vulnerable to such dark aspects of life. This video made me even more passionate about protecting and advocating for children, especially those who may have been exposed to violence.
