It is extremely easy to traumatize a toddler. The first five years of life are critical in the development of the human brain and the personality.

Dr. Spock was telling women that a toddler did not develop a memory until the age of four or so. My Mom actually believed that. I remember her talking about it when I was young. She did not think that she had to worry about her toddlers' emotional and psychological welfare. She had absolutely no empathy for her toddlers' feelings and emotions. Dr. Spock was an idiot.

We need to start teaching good parenting skills to women and parents in general.

In my case it was more the emotional and psychological traumas that caused me to be dissociative and not the physical traumas.
