DESAF\u00cdOS DEL DESARROLLO<\/h1>\n\t

Gesti\u00f3n de los primeros desaf\u00edos<\/h2>\n

The early years can be a time of joy and wonder, but challenges and concerns are also common.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cuando los adultos brindan apoyo adecuado a su edad, los j\u00f3venes pueden crecer y aprender de las dificultades. Pero nadie tiene por qu\u00e9 improvisar sobre la marcha. Existen m\u00e9todos comprobados y con respaldo cient\u00edfico para abordar los desaf\u00edos que enfrentan los ni\u00f1os en diferentes edades y etapas.<\/p>\n

Challenges can occur at any time in a child’s development, from the early years to the tween and teenager years. Learn about some of the challenges for children early in life and the tools you can use to overcome milestones and delays, adversity and mental health concerns.<\/p>\n\t

Hitos y retrasos<\/h2>\n

Los ni\u00f1os desarrollan muchas habilidades importantes en las primeras etapas de su vida, sentando las bases para el aprendizaje y las habilidades posteriores. Las actividades que los ni\u00f1os aprenden se denominan hitos del desarrollo y suelen ocurrir a ciertas edades.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is important for adults to pay attention to children’s progress toward these milestones. For example, it’s important to notice whether one-year-olds have said their first word or when a child takes their first steps. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Track your child’s milestones with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Aplicaci\u00f3n gratuita Milestone Tracker<\/a> o Obtenga una lista de hitos por cada edad<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ayudando a los ni\u00f1os con retrasos<\/h3>\n

When children do not reach the milestones at the expected time, that is known as a developmental delay. If you notice a delay, or simply think something isn’t right, don’t wait to act. There may be a simple solution or an intervention that can help. The sooner we address delays the easier they are to address.<\/p>\n

If you suspect a delay in your child’s development, talk to your pediatrician and\/or connect with an early intervention program like Maryland’s Infant and Toddlers Program<\/a>. It provides free support to children younger than 36 months with a qualifying delay. If you’re a caregiver and have concerns about a child in your life, you can make a referral for support.<\/p>\n

Adversidad<\/h2>\n

Adverse childhood experiences and environments (ACEs) are common. If children don’t get support when facing adversity, it can cause long-lasting harm. ACE<\/a> incluir cosas como presenciar violencia o experimentar discriminaci\u00f3n.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When children are exposed to severe adversity, and adults aren’t there to help them cope, their stress systems can over-activate. Their developing bodies and brains are flooded with harmful levels of stress hormones. This “toxic stress response” increases the risk of later health problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yet children can tolerate severe stress — if stable, responsive adult relationships are in place to buffer the negative impact.<\/p>\n

To nurture children’s potential, it is important that we work together to prevent serious adversity through good policies and programs. We can also ensure that every community is equipped to support people who have faced severe adversity, making resilience a real possibility.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Light\n\t\t

Si usted o su hijo han experimentado ACE, hay medidas que puede tomar para apoyar la curaci\u00f3n y la resiliencia. Sigue aprendiendo con estos recursos de resiliencia mental<\/a> del Departamento de Salud de Maryland, Administraci\u00f3n de Salud Conductual.<\/p>\n\t

If you know a family that’s feeling overwhelmed, encourage them or help them dial 211. <\/strong>They’ll get connected to resources that can relieve some of the stress. 211 is powered by the Maryland Information Network, which is a backbone organization of EFC and can help connect families to community resources and support.<\/p>\n
