None can do this on their own, but if we work synergistically, we can limit redundancy and build on what others are doing to effect meaningful change.”<\/p>\n

What’s one thing you wish you’d known when you first became a parent?<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

“I wish I had known the importance of self-care. Taking care of myself allows me to be a better parent. I wish I had known that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. Building a support system is crucial in navigating the challenges of parenthood. Finally, understanding the importance of being flexible and parenting. Every child is unique, and you must be adaptable.”<\/p>\n\t\t

Effectively promoting healthy child development and preventing ACEs will require a statewide public-private, cross-sector plan that is grounded in PACEs science. We owe it to our children and future generations to work together to make that plan and its implementation a reality.”<\/p>\n\t\t
