The Impact of Early Adversity
Ideally, children are exposed to positive factors within their
environment that accumulate and contribute, over time, to
positive developmental outcomes. Many children, however, are
exposed to adverse experiences, including such things as
homelessness, poverty, food insecurity, abuse, and toxic stress.
These adverse experiences can have a lifelong, toxic impact on
the brain
(Shonkoff et al., 2011).
Early childhood professionals have an essential role in creating
and supporting stable, responsive environments that reduce and
reverse the impact of adversity (Center on the Developing
Child, 2015b). In this Discussion, you explore the impact of
adverse experiences and the role of the early childhood
professional in supporting healthy, nurturing developmental
contexts.
