Many people are now familiar with ACEs or Adverse Childhood Experiences, but what about PCEs or Positive Childhood Experiences? What helps protect children from... the impact of difficult experiences? Fortunately there is more and more research on this so that we know how best to help and provide support for children and their caregivers to survive and thrive. 1. Ability to talk with family about feelings. 2. Felt experience that family is supportive in difficult times. 3. Enjoyment in participation in community traditions. 4. Feeling of belonging in high school/secondary school. 5. Feeling of being supported by friends. 6. Having at least two non-parent adults who genuinely care. 7. Feeling safe and protected by an adult at home.

The mother ...of the child whose X-ray is shown shared it to raise awareness of this nightmare (the child survived by sheer luck.)

It happens more in boys than girls and peaks at 4.5 years of age. See more
