Common Pain Points

Unrecognized Symptoms

Many parents may struggle to identify the signs of PTSD in their children. Symptoms like avoidance, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness can easily be mistaken for general anxiety or mood changes. This lack of recognition can lead to feelings of helplessness and confusion.

Fear of Judgment

Children with PTSD often fear being judged or misunderstood by peers and adults. This can create a barrier to open communication, making it harder for them to express their feelings and seek help, leaving them feeling isolated.

Feeling Overwhelmed

The emotional toll of PTSD can leave both children and parents feeling overwhelmed. The constant worry about triggers, potential outbursts, and the general unpredictability of emotional responses can create a challenging home environment.

A word from our Families

I explored Pathformers on both my phone and my computer, and the desktop experience really stood out. The design is beautiful, and the diverse family photos and videos capture the richness of everyday family life. The topics are genuinely useful, and navigating the site is seamless — I especially appreciated the filters that stay in place as you browse. Dr. Klein explains complicated ideas in a way that feels clear and relatable, which I think will resonate with a wide audience, not just parents. I’m excited to share it with my colleagues — we’re always looking for meaningful ‘lunch and learn’ content, and I can see Pathformers being a great fit.

I’m so grateful for the Pathformers initiative. When talking with friends who have children, we’re constantly asking ourselves what behaviors are typical, what might need attention, and how to make sense of the day-to-day challenges kids face. What has always struck me is how little developmental or emotional information parents often receive from pediatric visits. Pathformers gives us a reliable place to turn for clear, research-based explanations that help us understand what we’re seeing in our children. It’s been incredibly reassuring to finally have information we can trust.
