I believe that if we only make the connection between adversity and the people we are seeing then our individual stories are not enough.
We need to connect our stories in order to have solutions that lift everybody up.
We need a united struggle about the affects of adversity on the developing brains and bodies of children.

Any damage during crucial developmental phases can hinder a child’s ability to communicate, process, and learn at the same pace as their peers in academic and social settings. A child or teen may therefore be functioning at half or less than what is expected at their chronological age.
Traditional methods of discipline do not work with children and teens from hard places.
Stay calm.
No matter what.
See the need behind the behavior.
Meet the need.
Find a way.
Don't quit.
If not you, then who?
