May 26, 2019, Woodbury (TN) Canon Courier: 42 attend local ACE seminar http://www.cannoncourier.com/42-attend-local-ace-seminar-cms-18528 Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) can impact the building blocks of a child's brain and thought process throughout one's life. 42 Cannon County community leaders representing 16 professions and agencies, joined together for an ACE educational seminar at the Cannon County courthouse on Wednesday, May 15th. Tennessee is a leader in recognizing problems in young age children and affecting change before a child becomes involved with the court system. When interviewing with youth, it is best to ask, "what has happened to you?" rather than "what's wrong with you?"

Childhood Lost
Children today are noticeably different from previous generations, and the proof is in the news coverage we see every day. This site shows you what’s happening in schools around the world. Children are increasingly disabled and chronically ill, and the education system has to accommodate them. Things we've long associated with autism, like sensory issues, repetitive behaviors, anxiety and lack of social skills, are now problems affecting mainstream students. Blame is predictably placed on bad parenting (otherwise known as trauma from home).
Addressing mental health needs is as important as academics for modern educators. This is an unrecognized disaster. The stories here are about children who can’t learn or behave like children have always been expected to. What childhood has become is a chilling portent for the future of mankind.
