Mental health experts saMental Health experts say that the first five years of a person life are very important to their emotional and mental health development. Infants and toddlers need at least one caregiver to be emotionally and physically available. Children need their feelings acknowledge as well as their pain soothed. They need to be able to develop a sense of security and safety that will allow them to explore the world.

Abused during the first ten years of my life, this a glimpse of day during my childhood.
