Home Visits Help Parents Overcome Tough Histories, Raise Healthy Children [NPR.org]

That's a great point, Rene. I think all high schools should be teaching ACEs science and showing how it affects individuals, families, organizations and systems.

Wouldn't the nation be better served if this kind of effort were being put into our high schools? Parenting and child development education should begin before conception. I realize these problem already exist but only addressing the current problems doesn't put us put in front of the problem. The best leaders whether athletes, government, corporate or heads of households are those that can anticipate predict what may happen in the future.  We can predict much family dysfunction in the future because we know 64% of us have been raised in some level of adversity. Making parenting and child development education a priority in our schools doesn't even have to cost more money. It does mean we will have to reprioritize how the money is spent.
