## Resource

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore new research showing how severe early childhood stress can leave lasting biological effects while also emphasizing that those effects do not have to determine a child's future. They discuss the difference between healthy stress that builds resilience and traumatic stress that overwhelms, as well as the importance of presence, patience, compassion, and safe relationships in helping children heal. Parents will be encouraged to look beneath behavior and remember that consistent, loving adults can play a powerful role in rebuilding security and hope.
