ACES: Adverse Childhood Experiences

This Spotlight is designed to better understand the long-term effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences, or ACE’s. #trauma #ptsd #therapy
ACEs affect neuro and emotional development and how that plays into overall health. The condition can occur as a result of multiple causes including a childhood that includes violence, abuse, and growing up in a family with mental health or substance use problems. We look at the physical and mental health consequences in adults who experienced adversity in childhood.

I think in many cases it does forgive bad behavior, because at the end of the day, it's the adult's job to care for & properly equip the child & if the adult(s) didn't do their job, or do it well enough, then the children don't necessarily have to take responsibility for their behavior, if it was truly their body doing the best that it could, to get through the moment it was trying to get through with the only tools he or she had available to them. I think children are constantly trying to seek Justice & understanding of situations, to hold people accountable, to reconcile the wrongs they were dealt & right those wrongs.. If a person is not properly equipt, than they slip into survival mode or survival of the fittest so to speak, every child for himself, So to be punished for that seems an even greater injustice. The answer is to properly equip & empower the child.

I often think my childhood was no big deal but I get about a 7/10
I can’t believe one third of the population scores a zero. How does that even happen in this shitty world?

[@ThatsWhat-She.]

I respectfully disagree. In MANY ways, I think it DOES excuse behavior, if the child was not given the tools, support, guidance, security, resources & love that they NEEDED growing up, then certain behaviors & crimes of the child actually SHOULD be blamed on the parents & the PARENTS should take the punishment for the children & the children should be free to heal. If America wants to see things improve & change then they really need to start licensing parenthood, it is treated as a right but it NEEDS to be treated as a privilege that has to be EARNED
