This study looked at how children and their caregivers report children’s experiences of trauma and PTSD symptoms. Researchers wanted to know whose reports—child or parent—better reflect what’s happening in the child’s brain and body. The results showed that children’s own reports matched their brain and body responses better than their caregivers’ reports. This suggests that children’s perspectives give important and unique information about how trauma affects them, and that their voices should be included in both research and clinical assessments.
