Research has shown that toxic stress - for example, adverse
childhood experiences (prolonged and extreme stress without
compensatory support) changes the brain - increasing the risk for
addictions, eating disorders, and other mental and physical health
issues. However, on the other end of the spectrum, NO stress
deprives a child in particular of the brain changes that help them
learn emotional regulation and resilience. In childhood, life
experiences AND life stresses (when coupled with family support)
help the brain develop pathways that allow the child to better
respond to stress in the future. The most important life
experience for children is how their parents and other adults
interact with them.
