Bias Discomforts and Trauma

We have been privileged this week, to express about what has impacted our lives about bias, discomfort, and trauma within early childhood years. Also, what I have learned about anti-bias work, yourself, and others.  We were instructed to express this with art or media.  My picture solely defines the cries children may want to say but are not able to say because they don't know how.  As you can see within the collage, it expresses that children can very well be victims of prejudices, along with childhood trauma in the form of neglect, abuse, poverty, incarceration, and much more.  We have learned that the effects can be tremendous, leading to poor social skills and low self-esteem, substance abuse and hate relationships, but also on the flip side, the hard work of anti-bias education can help children understand their true purpose in life, and develop the skills needed to accomplish goals in life. 

Also, I have attached a sample song to express what or how children may feel after childhood trauma.
The words in the song are very relative, and when I heard the song, it was touching to my soul.  There are so many innocent  children who are traumatized  from arrays of aspects and we often do not know exactly how they feel, until we have walked in their shoes.
