3. Interesting findings regarding educators
Research shows that generally speaking educators tend to fall into one of two categories regarding their feelings towards students who have a high number of ACES:
I had ZERO ACES growing up so I sympathize with these students but find it very hard to empathize with them.
I had a tough childhood but I made it out just fine so what’s the big deal.

7. At your table discuss what ACES are and summarize what this means for the brain development of children who experience severe emotional and or physical trauma.

9. At your table discuss how you may look at some of these students differently and how you may attempt to build trust and establish positive relationships with these kiddos.
