Impact on the Child 5.1.24 When parents become preoccupied with drugs, or any other activity which dominates and monopolizes their time and energy, the children become emotional and sometimes physical cripples as a result of deprivation. Though the children are innocent they still become partners locked into this problem. Their coping skills become frustrated and their needs are invariably short-circuited. Such children carry these inappropriate adaptive behaviors with them into adulthood and create an inter-generational cycle of maladaptive coping techniques,‖ (Briggs, 1970). Briggs, D.C. (1970). Your child's self-esteem. New York: Doubleday. At the same time that the ACE Study was being done, parallel research on kids’ brains found that toxic stress physically damages a child’s developing brain. When children are overloaded with stress hormones, they’re in flight, fright or freeze mode. They can’t learn in school. They often have difficulty trusting adults or developing healthy relationships with peers (i.e., they become loners). To relieve their anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, and/or inability to focus, they turn to easily available biochemical solutions — nicotine, alcohol, marijuana, methamphetamine — or activities in which they can escape their problems — high-risk sports, proliferation of sex partners, and work/over-achievement. (e.g. Nicotine reduces anger, increases focus and relieves depression. Alcohol relieves stress.) ACE STUDY’
