ACEs Aware Self-Care Tool for Pediatrics
When a child or teen has experienced significant Adverse Childhood Experiences
(ACEs), their body may make more or less hormones than is healthy. This can lead
to problems with a child s physical and/or mental health, such as asthma, poor
growth, depression, or behavior problems. Safe, stable, and nurturing relationships
and environments where children feel safe emotionally and physically can
protect children s brains and bodies from the harmful effects of stress. You can
help your child be healthier by managing your own stress response and helping
your child do the same. Healthy nutrition, regular exercise, restful sleep, practicing
mindfulness, building social connections, and getting mental health support can
help to decrease stress hormones and prevent health problems. Here are some
