Resilience
 Adverse Childhood Experiences or ACEs can include everything from physical abuse and neglect to mental illness and household dysfunction. The ability of a child to adapt and overcome these experiences is called resilience. The single most common factor for children who develop resilience is at least one stable and committed relationship with supportive parent, caregiver or adult.
More on ACEs and Resilience Early Identification and Intervention  Families can wait months or years from the time they suspect their child has a developmental delay to the time they are screened or receive services. A new flowchart from First 5 Center for Children's Policy helps families, agencies, and policy makers understand the available paths to getting support.

Happy Thanksgiving 
Thanksgiving is usually a time for friends and family to gather and celebrate together. But this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued guidelines for celebrating the holiday during the COVID-19 pandemic that'll make it look very different from what we're used to. The CDC's considerations include avoiding travel and large gatherings. But that doesn't mean our annual day of thanks has to be a bore — there are many ways to celebrate without putting yourself or others at risk.
