🧠 Why do reports of childhood maltreatment change over time? Our research shows shifts between childhood records and self-reports at 18:
1️⃣ Some harms weren’t recognised earlier
2️⃣ Recalling/sharing later isn’t easy
3️⃣ People reinterpret experiences over time
Each report adds something important 💡
