For Your Binder

This session was being updated right before COVID - bummer - it will get redone for when we can all be back running around and playing games together, but for now, this is the handout for you!  Need to see some of the games in action? Consider getting Lisa's DVD of the same title!  #movement #outside #recess #DAP #play #handouts #teaching

A 2018 study estimated that 33.3% of all children were exposed to at least one adverse childhood experience (ACE). ACEs include abuse, household challenges, neglect, drug use or mental illness in the house, parental separation or divorce, incarcerated family members and witnessing domestic violence.  It's important to note that adversity isn't limited to these categories;  housing insecurity, racism, medical trauma, natural disasters and, I would add COVID all can contribute to a child experiencing trauma as a result of the stress of these examples of adversity.  This booklet provides a general over view of trauma and behavior, what ECEs need to know about trauma, how ECEs can promote resilience, understanding trauma informed care, and the intersection between disparity, equity and trauma.  #trauma #ACES #equity #care
