Hi,

The relationship between ACEs and Parenting is behind the theoretical framework that supports the work of Stephanie Jones, Professor at GSE Harvard):

"SECURe PAC: SECURe for Parents and Children (2014-2015)
Aspen Institute
Working in close collaboration with school- and community-based partners, a team of researchers and program developers at Harvard University is developing, implementing, and evaluating a dual-generation program that supports low-income children’s academic and social- emotional development while simultaneously building skills and social capital among low- income parents. The project involves a combination of targeted school readiness activities for children, as well as adult-focused programming designed to address specific challenges faced by low-income parents. By enhancing the skills and capacities of children and parents together, the goal is to move families toward an inter-generational cycle of opportunity, health, and academic and economic success.

By the way, here in Colombia we are finishing a first pilot of a program that seeks to help parents (living in extreme adversity) become a reliable source of physical and emotional protection for the child and to foster the healthy child-parent attachments that promote appropriate affect regulation and healthy emotional development. We are working with the Child Trauma Research Program at the University of California, San Francisco to develop, implement, and evaluate this group-based psychosocial intervention. Our work follows the same intuition and evidence: ACEs erode parenting quality.

Best,

Arturo
