Is there any way I can protect my daughter from complex situations becoming traumas?

The way the environment interprets events is very important; in other words, the narrative surrounding them. Discussing complex situations is a broad topic, but undoubtedly the most important thing is always not to minimize the problems children share , and to convey that feeling bad is normal.

Perhaps I would also add the importance of not rushing things so that children "feel good." Often, we adults are more anxious about the children's suffering than the children themselves, and they pick up on this.

Why is it so important to validate our children's emotions?
