 Welcome to nostr :'-) 
 omg thank you i’ve been here for months 
 "Network Of Stigmas, Traumas, and pseudo  Resolved issues." 

That's how i'd sell nostr to my x, except I'm not talking to her.

In your case it depends, kids that age dont process information the same way, you were most likely fully focused on the emotional state of your parent - consuming the TV events only indirectly.

Depending on maturity, it can be difficult to balance dopamine rich news versus attention for their toddler.

If anything exceptionally bad or good happened to you directly afterwards, then it is possible to develop a false strong reaction to similarly percieved situations.

Bottom line, unless you took part in the actual events, then the impact on your psyche should have been minimal.

If you're still bothered by it in your adult life.
Then find the original news casts on some internet archive, watch them on a old CRT and once satisfied; throw the whole thing out the window.
