Child emotional development is like a scale that has two sides. One side gets stacked with negative things, like stress, violence and poverty, while the other side gets loaded with positive things, like supportive relationships, skill-building opportunities and challenges, good jobs, and access to quality health care.
There are interventions and supportive programs to help parents and caregivers counter balance the negative cognitive effects of prolonged and significant adversity.
