I can confirm from personal experience that traumatic experiences seem to transcend the mind-wipe that happens in mid-childhood. At a very early age, I had a form of Krupp, and some of my earliest memories are not being able to breathe, and the panic/anxiety of it. After several decades, it's something I hardly ever think about (somewhat backing up what you are saying), but I definitely remember it.
I would also be hesitant to do this to kids on purpose. My son fell into a pool at the age of ~1, and was pulled out by my wife within a few seconds. However, he had a massive fear of water, and took a long time and concerted efforts to make him comfortable with learning to swim.
- saithound 2y agoIf you had an infection of the upper airway that made it hard to breathe, you had croup. If there was a massive steel foundry pushing down on your chest, it was probably Krupp.
- danielbarla 2y agoYou're right (though it is actually spelled krupp in my language, and I assumed it would be the same in others, as it has no inherent meaning).
