Tina Marie Hahn, MD posted:Hi Robyn,
I am going to copy your handout - mainly the "How do I develop Resiliency page" and put it in my peds room. I have the educational one from Spokane and it flies out of the room so fast but I want people to know how to develop that resiliency in the here and now as we cannot do anything about how our parents were to us in the past.
I look at that resiliency PDF from Maine as really only being an extension in a way of the ACE scale. If your parents didn't love you and your teacher or no one else thought you were special well the impact of your toxic stress is going to be a lot higher. If you had those things, your toxic stress impact from ACEs will be a lot lower. So thanks for uploading it. I will let you know what pediatric parents and adolescents think about it in the medical clinic.
Tina, I hope you will consider using the entire pamphlet, because there are resources on the P4R part that help parents understand neurobiologically informed parenting, and I believe that is really important information for parents to learn if we want to prevent ACEs with their children.
The first link on that handout is to a free webinar on positive discipline (parenting beyond punishment which is really helpful for parents who have high arousal themselves) along with a presentation my colleague Dr. George Davis and I gave at the IVAT conference on co-regulation.

It helps build community for parents and gives them a lot of free support. One is sponsored by Parenting Beyond Punishment, and the other by Dr. Ross Greene's group "LivesInTheBalance"
Here is the youtube we reference on the P4R handout that talks about neuro-developmentally informed parenting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW_varQxQRE
