All kids may go through extremely stressful situations that have an impact on their emotions and thinking. Children typically make a full recovery soon.

Occasionally, kids who go through a lot of stress, like from an injury, the passing away or imminent death of a close family member or friend, or from violence, will be negatively impacted for a long time. The child might suffer this pain firsthand or see it happen to someone else.

Children may be diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) if they have distressing or limiting symptoms from such stress that last for an extended period of time and affect their relationships and daily activities. Children and teenagers who have PTSD may benefit from therapy.

Also, they will require additional attention, comfort, and care from their caregivers. The OP's seven-year-old son started exhibiting a lot of negative behaviors at school.

The specialists examined him and came to the conclusion that he has severe anxiety and PTSD. The specialists say that the amount of chaos within the school is very triggering for him, and they have limited the kid's contact with heavily socialized environments due to this.

The OP's son stays in a special classroom, and he was doing great until one day, she was called in to come and help. 

The Story's Title

OP's son had tons of specialists evaluate him through the school system

The OP left her son's father when he was only 3 years old

The OP had her son go into the office to see one of his favorite peers and then...

The OP went further to include this additional piece of information

And now, let's head into the comments section

It is never a one time thing

Who?

The teacher needs to take some more classes

She didn't care that she made the kid cry

Teachers who work with special needs are so awful

The teacher's actions were completely inappropriate

Screaming at children is counter productive

This redditor had witnessed and reported physical and verbal abuse

Zero patience for adults being cruel to children

This redditor is sorry the teacher had no self control

This teacher was apparently a substitute

This redditor thanks the OP for standing up to bullies

The OP will need to bite the bullet and be the bigger person

What did she think will happen?

This redditor wouldn't want her in a regular classroom

The OP was doing the best she could

People like that are always happy to punch down

Everyone agrees that screaming at children is never appropriate, yet everyone has a point at which they'll lose their cool. As more teachers leave the profession, class sizes increase, wages stagnate, education budgets are cut, and curricula are altered, it is inevitable that more teachers will lose their cool.
