Contributors and Attributions. A public health approach that includes primary universal preventions to promote wellness (like promoting positive parenting practices), secondary targeted interventions for those deemed to be at risk for poor outcomes (like using biomarkers both to identify those at higher risk and to monitor the effectiveness of various interventions), and tertiary evidence-based treatments for the symptomatic (like referring to providers trained in TF-CBT). BStC, biological sensitivity to context; PTSD, posttraumatic stress disorder. Biological sensitivity to context is a theory with emerging evidence that children differ in their susceptibility to environmental influence in a for better and for worse manner, depending on their psychobiologic reactivity to stress. As a consequence, the very characteristics that are often thought of as childrens frailties (eg, high stress reactivity) can also be their strengths, given the right context.*,91,131,134,206. Relational health explains how SSNRs buffer adversity and promote the skills needed to be resilient in the future. 605 PDF For children at higher risk for toxic stress responses, targeted secondary interventions with tiered services (eg, HealthySteps84,85) may be needed. Poverty, food insecurity, housing insecurity, racism, community violence, discrimination, alienation, disenfranchisement, and social isolation are examples that impose significant hardships on families and become potential barriers to developing SSNRs. ROR provides age appropriate books and encourages parents to regularly read to and interact with their children to support school readiness and healthy parent-child relationships. The toxic stress framework may help to define many of our most intractable problems at a biological level, but a relational health framework helps to define the much-needed solutions at the individual, familial, and community levels (see Table 1). According to studies, how a human brain is structured shares connections to various subsequent behaviors. Secondary preventions in the relational health framework are focused on identifying the potential individual, family, and community barriers to SSNRs by developing respectful and caring therapeutic relationships with patients, families, and communities. Change in a society created through social movements as well as through changes in the environment The recognized violation of social norms The idea that conformity result not so much from what people do as from how others respond to those actions Interpreting someone's past in light of present deviance Question 2 45 seconds Q. These are just a few examples of the many philosophical perspectives that exist on the analysis of society. In the presence of SSNRs, a limited degree of childhood adversity (eg, normative childhood frustrations and setbacks) can lead to the positive stress responses that build the rudiments of resilience: a set of social and emotional skills that allow children to adapt to future adversity in a healthy manner. Other investigators have applied the term ACEs to additional adversities known to affect child health, such as poverty, neighborhood violence, and exposure to racism. Society is currently trending toward division, marginalization, alienation, and social isolation.177 In opposing this trend and calling for a public health approach that builds SSNRs, the AAP is working to translate the latest developmental science into practices and public policies (see Table 2) that build healthy, resilient children. A medical home builds partnerships with clinical specialists, families, and community resources. POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST: The authors have indicated they have no potential conflicts of interest to disclose. Encourage them to become leaders in interdisciplinary early childhood systems work and vocal advocates for public policies that promote positive relational experiences in safe, stable, and nurturing families and communities. The Theory of Architecture Paul-Alan Johnson 1994-04-18 The Theory of Architecture Concepts, Themes & Practices Paul-Alan Johnson Although it has long been thought that theory directs architectural practice, no one has explained precisely how the connection between theory and practice is supposed to work. Someones got to be crazy about that kid. Conceptualizing and operationalizing environmental chaos Efforts to repair strained or compromised relationships are likely to be more effective if other potential barriers to SSNRs are being addressed (eg, parental mental illness and basic needs) and additional efforts are being made to actively promote SSNRs (eg, the provision of developmentally appropriate play). Advocate that health systems, payers, and policy makers at all levels of government align incentives and provide funding to promote the universal primary prevention work discussed in this policy statement. Acronym for Reach Out and Read; ROR is a nonprofit organization and early literacy program. Measures of both resilience and flourishing despite adversity suggest that much more can be done to build the SSNRs and overall relational health that buffers adversity and builds both the skills and contexts necessary for children to thrive. The concept of childhood toxic stress taps into a rich literature on the biology of adversity and explains the danger in overlooking significant adversity in childhood. The common factors are communication skills that help to build a therapeutic alliance (the bond felt between the clinician and patient and/or family, a powerful factor in facilitating emotional and psychological healing), which, in turn, increases the patient and/or familys optimism, feelings of well-being, and willingness to work toward improved health. The strongest factor determining how involved a father is in nurturing and providing physical care, cognitive activities and warmth with an infant is: how important he feels his contribution is Nick's (15 months old) parents often didn't respond when he tried to communicate to them. The challenge, then, is not only to prevent adversity but also (for mothers, fathers, and other engaged adults) to actively promote positive relational experiences throughout infancy and childhood. Policy statements from the American Academy of Pediatrics benefit from expertise and resources of liaisons and internal (AAP) and external reviewers. Identify and address potential barriers to SSNRs. The toxic stress and its impact on development in the Shonkoff's Ecobiodevelopmental Theorical approach. The biological response to frequent, prolonged, or severe adversities in the absence of at least one safe stable and nurturing relationship; these biological responses might be beneficial or adaptive initially, but they often become health harming or maladaptive or toxic over time or in different contexts. Although pediatric and early childhood professionals have long recognized the parent-child relationship as foundational,2022 the elemental nature of relational health is not reflected in much of our current training, research, practice, and advocacy. Caregivers with core life skills are essential for the development of executive function and self-regulation skills in their children. The American Academy of Pediatrics has neither solicited nor accepted any commercial involvement in the development of the content of this publication. The ecobiodevelopmental framework asserts that the ecology becomes biologically embedded, and there is an ongoing but cumulative dance between the ecology and the biology that drives development over the life span. Typically, restorative justice allows the victims and the offenders to mediate a restitution agreement that is satisfactory to both parties. Symbolic interactionism theory asserts that society is composed of symbols and can be understood and analyzed by addressing the subjective meanings that people attach to objects, events, and behaviors that they consider as symbols. HealthySteps uses a tiered approach to match services with the level of need, and the core components include: (1) child development social-emotional, and behavioral screening, (2) screening for family needs, (3) child development support line (eg, phone, text, e-mail, and online portal), (4) child development and behavioral consultants, (5) care coordination and systems navigation, (6) positive parenting guidance and information, (7) early learning resources, and (8) ongoing, preventive team-based well-child visits. Similarly, advocating for a Health in All Policies approach could advance health equity and minimize family and community distress by addressing the underlying economic inequities.198200 The commitment of the AAP to decreasing family stress is manifest in many of its official statements, including poverty,87,88 racism,166 maternal depression,90 disasters,152,153 father engagement,196 home visiting,142 and the importance of play.74,197, The strengthening of core life skills (eg, executive function and self-regulation) is needed for families and communities to provide well-regulated, nurturing environments. Understanding, practicing, and reinforcing executive functions and self-regulation skills (eg, managing strong emotions, ensuring adequate sleep, and getting regular exercise) is essential because all caregivers need these skills to create the kinds of environments in which children thrive.16,37,59 Whether an adult coaching or skill-building component is incorporated within a FCPMH or connected to it in a collaborative manner, the essential role that these programs play in promoting the healthy development of children is clear, especially for those who are the most disadvantaged.1,16. To usher in these fundamental reforms, more pediatricians will need to assume leadership positions outside the realm of clinical care.202,203 In addition, pediatric training programs will need to educate residents about the ecobiodevelopmental model, train them on how to develop strong therapeutic relationships with parents and caregivers, teach them how to model nurturing and affirming interactions with children of all ages, train them how to encourage caregivers to have positive relational experiences with children of all ages, prepare them to work as part of interdisciplinary teams144,150 (eg, integrated with behavioral health and social service professionals), educate them on how to develop collaborative partnerships with community referral resources, and encourage them to become vocal advocates for public policies that promote safe, stable, and nurturing families and communities. These varied adversities share the potential to trigger toxic stress responses and inhibit the formation of SSNRs. Theories that support a relationship-based framework 1. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE: The authors have indicated they have no financial relationships relevant to this article to disclose. Perhaps the most important critique of Kohlberg's theory is that it may describe the moral development of males better than it describes that of females (Jaffee & Hyde, 2000). 13, Thinking Developmentally: Nurturing Wellness in Childhood to Promote Lifelong Health, Resilience to adversity and the early origins of disease, Emotional and behavioural resilience to multiple risk exposure in early life: the role of parenting, A Secure Base: Parent-Child Attachment and Healthy Human Development, Object relations, dependency, and attachment: a theoretical review of the infant-mother relationship, Touchpoints: Birth to 3: Your Childs Emotional and Behavioral Development, Relationship of childhood abuse and household dysfunction to many of the leading causes of death in adults. Tertiary preventions in the relational health framework are focused on the evidence-based practices such as ABC, CPP, or PCIT that repair strained relationships and assist them in becoming more safe, stable, and nurturing. Provide longitudinal experiences that train residents on how to develop strong, trusted, respectful, and supportive relationships with parents and caregivers. Three indicators of flourishing are amenable to parental report and are rough markers of executive function: (1) the child shows interest and curiosity in learning new things, (2) the child works to finish tasks he or she starts, and (3) the child stays calm and in control when faced with a challenge.59 In analyses of data from the 20162017 National Survey of Childrens Health, the prevalence of flourishing children increased in a graded fashion with increasing levels of family resilience and connection.59 In fact, a higher percentage of children with high adversity (ACE scores 49) but high family connection and resilience were flourishing (30.5%) than children with low adversity (ACE score of 0) but low family resilience and connection (26.8%).59 Approaches to minimizing toxic stress that only look at measures of adversity (such as ACE scores or biomarkers) will miss out on opportunities to support the relational health that promotes flourishing despite adversity. In the decade since the first AAP policy statement and technical report on childhood toxic stress were published, even more evidence has accumulated that: What happens in childhood does not stay in childhood.186,187 Adverse experiences in childhood are not destiny, but for many children, significant adversity bends life-course trajectories for the worse. This revised policy statement on childhood toxic stress builds on the 2012 policy statement12 and technical report2 by: Acknowledging that a spectrum of adversity exists, from discrete, threatening events (such as abuse, bullying, or disasters) to ongoing, chronic hardships (such as poverty, racism, social isolation, or neglect).

Although children experiencing discrete catastrophic events such as abuse are at a high risk for toxic stress responses, epidemiology suggests that the largest number of children at risk for toxic stress responses are those affected by ongoing chronic life conditions such as neglect.54,55 This finding suggests that although interventions targeting children with acute threats are needed urgently (eg, efforts preventing physical abuse, child trafficking, and gun violence), those interventions alone will almost certainly miss large segments of the population (eg, those experiencing the threats of parental mental illness, racism, poverty, social isolation) who may also develop toxic stress responses and their associated poor outcomes. A Comparison of the Toxic Stress and Relational Health Frameworks. Without strong therapeutic alliances with patients, caregivers, and families, few of the recommended universal primary preventions will be implemented, few of the targeted interventions will be used, and few of the indicated treatments will be sought.

The commitment of the AAP to the well-being of all children requires that it not only address a wide spectrum of adversities but, also, that it speak against public policies, social constructs, and societal norms that perpetuate the ongoing, chronic precipitants of toxic stress responses such as poverty87,88 and racism166 and for public policies that promote relational health, inclusion, and equity.111,188191. Bronfenbrenner's theory explains that there are certain cultural and social factors in the immediate environment of a child affect child development and experience. Promoting a public health approach that not only prevents, mitigates, and treats toxic stress but, more importantly, proactively promotes, reduces barriers to, and repairs relational health (the capacity to develop and maintain SSNRs with others). Several researchers have noted that many other experiences in childhood are also associated with poor outcomes later in life, and these include being raised in poverty,41 left homeless,4244 exposed to neighborhood violence,4547 subjected to racism,4850 bullied,51,52 or punished harshly.53 This finding suggests that there is a wide spectrum of adversity that runs from discrete, threatening events (such as being abused, bullied, or exposed to disasters or other forms of violence) to ongoing, chronic life conditions (such as exposure to parental mental illness, racism, poverty, neglect, family separation or a placement in foster care, and environmental toxins or air pollution; unrelenting anxiety about a global pandemic, climate change, or deportation; or social rejection because of ones sexual orientation or gender identity). Repair strained or compromised relationships. The first is that pediatric providers will have the financial supports needed to expand their capacity for developing respectful, continuous, trusted, and nurturing relationships with both the patients and caregivers of the patients who they serve. Build the therapeutic alliance; promote positive parenting; encourage developmentally appropriate play. Although this term is frequently used to refer to the childs experiences (child ACEs), it has also been applied to the adversities that parents experienced during their own childhoods (parental ACEs).
