@simplehelpinfo It’s not really about “transferring” PTSD. However, if a parent has PTSD, like any mental health problem, it may affect the child, though not all children are affected to the same degree. One resource that may be helpful is our working paper on Maternal Depresssion. (Sorry about not providing a link, they aren't allowed in comments.) Depression and PTSD are not the same, but they are often related. This paper provides insight into how parental mental illness can affect children.
@dynamite5691 There is a broad range of developmental trajectories for individual children. The Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University focuses on broad trends in neuroscience and behavioral and developmental science for their impact on policies and programs serving young children. In cases of concern about a specific child, we recommend parents consult with their pediatrician or other child health and development specialist.
