CDA Goal Area 3: To support social and emotional development and to provide positive guidance
Description: Brain development in the early years is especially susceptible to toxic stress caused by Adverse Childhood Experiences. Toxic stress has the capacity to physically change a child’s brain and be hardwired into the child’s biology. Adults can assist in increasing physical health and mental well-being for children who have encountered Adverse Childhood Experiences. Participants will learn how they are in a unique position to assist in attending to the child’s unique health and developmental needs. Participants will discover the link between resilience and children’s future positive outcome. In this class you will earn three (3) clock hours.
