Supporting Families in Your Community
Children are shaped by their earliest experiences and relationships. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as child abuse and neglect, can cause high levels of stress. According to the Centers for Disease Control, having safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments can buffer against the effects of potential stressors such as child abuse and neglect or other adverse childhood experiences.
Parenting with Resilience
Parents often find themselves stressed by everyday words and thoughts. As they navigate their daily lives thoughts like “where did the time go”, “I feel exhausted”, and moments of “I’ll get to that later” or “I can do all of this at the same time” can overwhelm them. They find themselves in autopilot routines and jumping from one activity to another.
