Little Kids Big Questions Another Great Resource from Zero to Three I copy this page from Zero to Three and give it to all My parents. Also, sometimes in the Nursery, if I know the parent is a new parent with risk factors for negative child development, and the parent has a cell phone (and I always make sure first they have affordable and reliable access) or a computer and have the ability to access this resource, I will take the time to sit with the new parent and listen to one of these...

Here are some of my favorite free resources that I share with the families that I work with. From the Everything I need to Know, I Learned from Watching Sesame Street department, this site has apps, videos, and activities for parents and kids to help through challenging things like having an incarcerated parent, dealing with divorce, bullying, or just going to bed. Available in English and Spanish. http://www.sesamestreet.org/parents/topicsandactivities/toolkits/challenges#0 From a...

Yes, I totally agree. Maybe the answer is too simple. Perhaps because we have forgotten where it all starts ….at the bottom of the pyramid; not halfway up. We have to address basic needs before we can move on. Basic needs are essential. Skipping over basic needs causes stress which impacts the brain....then you've got a problem. Lack of an adequate supply of diapers infancy and toddlerhood causes distress for an infant and his mother. Here, you have already negatively impacted the back and...

Have you joined the website NPPC ACEs? They have links to most of the relevant research there. I think your question shows a bit of a difference in thinking from those who are using ACEs screening. It is not as simple as an ACE of 4 needing a referral. That would be simple. It is possible that a person with an ACE of 6 has a good relationship with a caregiver, feels safe most of the time, has good school and church support, and no current medical or mental health issues. They don't currently...

On the chance that someone here can offer a referral or advice, I'm looking for a trauma-informed medical doctor who can be my wife's Primary Care Physician. She is 39 years old and has gone without medical care for over 27 years as a result of her childhood trauma which involved severe neglect and long-term social isolation. I need to find a physician who is willing to communicate with me before her first appointment so I can fully explain her condition and what kind of approach will best...

I'm a pediatric neurologist at University of Alabama at Birmingham and Children's of Alabama. ACEs in the Peds ED: I've discussed ACE screening with some of my Peds ED colleagues (and there's interest) but that's as far as we've gotten.... ACE screening elsewhere: Is anyone doing ACEs in sub-specialty pediatrics? I am looking for help on "best practices" in this setting. Over the past few months I have been informally asking an unscientific sample of my parents in Peds Neurology clinic to...

I’m kind of bad here because I didn’t read your entire reply but this area of somatic complaints and concerns over behavioral problems like ADHD - is really where I started asking the ACE questions mixed in with a bunch of other psychosocial questions - and the ACEs were always very high. I’ve been doing this since at least 2004. Rahil Briggs is awesome in this area as is NBHarris and they have a webinar coming up in a few days on integrating this into care. For Neurology - chronic...
