Research has shown adverse childhood experiences that cause a prolonged state of fear can lead to long-lasting wear and tear on the body and brain. Therefore, when a child experiences strong, frequent, and prolonged adverse events, their body’s natural stress response becomes toxic. Long-term toxic stress leads to disruptions in early brain development and health problems later in life. I wrote this book and founded Positive Kids to provide strategies to parents that will develop resiliency in children to enable them to overcome adversity and achieve their highest potential.
