Consequences of Stress on Children's Development

Growing up I was fortunate enough to not personally deal with any of these stressors on the list, but as a collective, my community has experienced lots of violence. Murder, robbery, arson, vandalism, you name it. It is sad to say that I have to raise my children in such a cruel world. But when I sit back and look at other regions in the world, I see that we are a tad fortunate than they are. Won't say lucky but I will say blessed.

I decided to discuss natural disasters and Japan. The most recent natural disaster to strike Japan is Typhoon Man-yi. A landslide claimed the life of a woman. 200 domestic flights were cancelled and their is a fear for a popular plant considering contaminated water seeping through the ground. There was also 2 tornadoes to hit Japan in September injuring at least 65 people. Natural disasters are really common in other regions of the world, and it seems to be difficult for these other countries to bounce back. I breaks my heart to see such tragedies occur.
