the following:
*What characteristics did the child present?
*How have you been able to support the child?
*What type of professional development do you think will support you in meeting the needs of this child?
If you have not worked with a child affected by ACEs, please share the following:
*Describe a few characteristics of ACEs a hypothetical may experience.
*How would you support this child if they were in your care?
*What type of professional development do you think will support you in meeting the needs of this child?

According to Kaiser Permanente, “Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are things that happen before adulthood that can cause trauma or they’re things that make a child feel like their home isn’t safe or stable. Children who have multiple ACEs tend to have more physical and mental health problems later in life. This may be because of physical changes that can happen in a child’s body when they have ongoing stress. It may also be because of health-harming behaviors (like smoking or risky sexual behavior) that are more common in people with more ACEs.”
