Would Adverse Childhood Experiences be akin to bullying? Or other problems as well? #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:06 PM EDT

#resiliencechat #Tidbit We often talk about "Toxic Stress" so here is one version to consider: https://t.co/kg8VYULuUf
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:08 PM EDT

#resiliencechat #Tidbit2 #ACES Here's a bit of info on #ACES https://t.co/26oqFiTqIG
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:08 PM EDT

Ah, toxic stress. Been there. Done that. Don't even have a t shirt. #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:09 PM EDT

#resiliencechat Research is showing us that far too many children are exposed to #trauma at an early age. Q1. Have you heard of #ACES?
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:09 PM EDT

A1 No but I sure experienced it. #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:10 PM EDT

#resiliencechat A1 #ACES is a score each person has in response to significant traumas in their life. 10 deep and telling questions.
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1 Lemme see.. During my childhood I lost three grandparents by the time I was 12. I was bullied and teased K-8. #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:12 PM EDT

#resiliencechat The #trauma of #ACES are quite severe, and can have long-lasting impacts both psychologically and medically on people.
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1 Every weekend for about six years I had to share my bedroom with my grandma who may have had dementia. #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:13 PM EDT

Q2 #resiliencechat Consider the children we work with, & the impact of the trauma, it can be overwhelming, yet do you think we can help?
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A1 Bullied during the week. Shared room on the weekend. No sanctuary. #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A2 Someone's gotta. #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:14 PM EDT

#Resiliencechat Yes, loss of family members can certainly be impactful in our development.

Yes @AnaheimElemall staff development day we are viewing film Resilience #resiliencechat

A1: Not the specific acronym however a type of research between the relationship of stressful situations and health #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:16 PM EDT

When my Grandpa Abe died when I was six, it was less than a year after JFK assassinated. Traumatic. I still miss him. #resiliencechat

First 5 #ACES themes physical (1), verbal (2) and sexual abuse (3); physical (4) and emotional (5) neglect; #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:16 PM EDT

Caused me to have a fear of abandonment that I have yet to shake. #resiliencechat
In reply to @ResiliencyGuy
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:17 PM EDT

2nd set: #ACES; a family member who has been incarcerated (6), is abusing alcohol or drugs (7), or has a mental illness (8 #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:17 PM EDT

Last two #ACES witnessing a mother being abused (9); and losing a parent to divorce or separation (10). #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:18 PM EDT

It's very powerful. I also think we have so many underlying #traumas that also create similar #Stress for our children. #Resiliencechat
In reply to @oneillgrace
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:19 PM EDT

Re: 9. I witnessed my paternal grandma, Bessie, push my mother against the wall. She wanted my mom's raincoat. #resiliencechat
oneillgrace Oct 23 @ 10:19 PM EDT

We know that positive relationship will help mitigate #ACES how can educators teach resilience? #resiliencechat
EmilioGarduque Oct 23 @ 10:20 PM EDT

As a private lesson T for Ss, creating a positive experience will not erase the trauma but will give them a new hope #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:20 PM EDT

#ACES score is said to identify those are significant risk and thus, those who will benefit from #Resilience #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:21 PM EDT

Re: 8. Was puzzled by Grandma Bessie. She loved me, but something going on that didn't make sense. Dementia maybe. #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:21 PM EDT

#resiliencechat Q3 #Iwonder if many of the traumas that occur daily that aren't part of #ACES can still collectively impact out children?
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:22 PM EDT

Yes, @MissShuganaheach one of these moments can create memories of fear, trauma that our minds and bodies remember. #resiliencechat

Great question! #Resiliencechat #Resilience built by #Connecting, #empowering, #supporting, #engaging, and helping Stds see their #power!

MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:23 PM EDT

My brother emotionally and psychologically abused me. Took me years to figure that out. Never told a soul. 'Til now. #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:24 PM EDT

I always suspected there was a connection between this toxic stress and cancer. Just took a long time to catch up with me. #resiliencechat
In reply to @ResiliencyGuy
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:25 PM EDT

And, none of that was your fault! That locus of control is tough for a child's mind to handle. #selfblame occurs too often. #Resiliencechat

That's what the medical profession is now realizing. Check out this trailer for #Resilience movie! https://t.co/FcfKK5j3Fw #resiliencechat

A3: One can argue certain portrayals of criticism from the ts can cause trauma to the Ss. #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:28 PM EDT

#resiliencechat I believe that #educators are in a great position to build #resilience skills in children, which can mitigate the #stress
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:28 PM EDT

The more I think about it, the more I realize that my friend Richie checked out because #ACES caught up with him. #resiliencechat
oneillgrace Oct 23 @ 10:29 PM EDT

Hi all Mary Grace @AnaheimElem #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:29 PM EDT

Q4 Share some ideas and or strategies that you believe can support children who are experiencing stress in their environment #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:31 PM EDT
Absolutely! If #shame is used to #scold, then that negative impact can be just as harmful as #bullying behavior! #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:33 PM EDT

A3 Yes. 1968 is a case in point for me. MLK was assassinated. RFK assassinated. George Wallace ran for President. #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:34 PM EDT

A3 My parents and their friends were so frightened by George Wallace, that they were talking about us moving if he won. #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:34 PM EDT

A4 #resiliencechat When we help students build #perspective, remain #positive, recognize their #value as people, we help #resilience skills
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:35 PM EDT

A4 Create a safe haven. Be the person a child can confide in. Support parents, too when it's possible. #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:36 PM EDT

#resiliencechat The wide-ranging health and social consequences of ACEs underscore the importance of preventing them before they happen. #1
EmilioGarduque Oct 23 @ 10:36 PM EDT

A4: Create a learning environment that promotes core values: honesty, loyalty, respect, compassion, and dedication.#resiliencechat
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:37 PM EDT

A3 The older a child is, the more aware they will be of a toxic political environment and how it could impact their life. #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:39 PM EDT

Make sure that parents are not just punished, ie, considered bad people or parents if they make parenting mistakes. #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:39 PM EDT

We want to respect the #family and #cultural values of the home. Take care not to overlay one set of values over another. #resiliencechat
In reply to @EmilioGarduque
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:39 PM EDT

In other words, don't go all DCFS on a parent's ass. #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:41 PM EDT

Remember that we are all wounded in one way or another. We deserve compassion. Not punishment. #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:42 PM EDT

Q5. When you think about the types of skills one needs to be #Resilient, what else comes to mind? #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:43 PM EDT

A4 Create safe havens. Create garden spaces. Time for meditation. Or play. Time to just be a kid. #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:43 PM EDT
Yes, #compassion and #kindness should be mandatory #resources for all #educators #Resiliencechat
- MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:41 PM EDT

Q6 As children grow, they need many opportunities to #connect with #educators #resiliencechat What have you seen work at different levels?
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A6 Sharing a sense of humor. Having a teacher show that they are interested in your thoughts. #resiliencechat

A6 Helps when a teacher encourages you to explore things that interests you. #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:51 PM EDT

Great idea! #resiliencechat We have really emphasized the importance of being present with the students. Whole school morning walks!
In reply to @oneillgrace
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:51 PM EDT

We need more teachers who are like Mr. Rogers. Someone who will not talk down to a kid. Encourage the kid. Show compassion #resiliencechat
EmilioGarduque Oct 23 @ 10:52 PM EDT

Building rapport #resiliencechat
ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Oct 23 @ 10:53 PM EDT

Research shows us that many people can be #Resilient and overcome #adversity, and I think we can improve that data #resiliencechat
MissShuganah Oct 23 @ 10:53 PM EDT

Been thinking about one professor I had in graduate school. He was the best professor I had. Great mentor. #resiliencechat

Just hit the three year mark. OTOH, if I would have had compassionate teachers K-8, maybe I would never have had cancer. #resiliencechat
