In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Hays-Grudo and Dr. Amanda Sheffield Morris, co-authors of Adverse and Protective Childhood Experiences: A Developmental Perspective and Raising a Resilient Child in a World of Adversity: Effective Parenting for Every Family, provide hope to those who have experienced childhood abuse, trauma, and neglect. Hays-Grudo and Morris discuss how Positive Childhood Experiences (PACEs) not only address, but counter the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The two identify ten concrete, accessible, research-based responses to ACEs as they navigate a path for childhood resilience. Listeners will appreciate how Hays-Grudo and Morris speak about this compelling topic with grace and optimism.
