I'll be drawing on more of Dale Jarvis' presentation to Kitsap Mental Health employees recently than just the few slides in this set, but this is good for starters. Note that, according his analysis, adverse childhood experiences are at the root of the following problems.
  1. disrupted neurodevelopment,
  2. social emotional and conigitive impairment,
  3. adoption of health-risk behaviors,
  4. disease, disability and social problems,
  5. and early death.

He teaches that spiritual health is conducive to physical health, but physical health depends upon many factors, some of which are outside the control of the individual.

At the April meeting of the Peninsulas Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation Group I participate in, Ellen  brought to our consultaton group the pamphlet above which describes how children and their parents are supported through programs in her community. She also spoke with great knowledge and enthusiasm about The Incredible Years, an evidence-based practice for addressing behavioral problems in children 3 to 8.
 
Address aggressive behavior in young children and you won't have to address aggressive behavior when they grow up. Prevention matters. To what extent does aggressive behavior that "works" for children have expression in the atrocities and acts of war committed by adults all too evident in the world today? And what role has harsh parenting had in the development of those who have been behind the genocide that occured? These are legitimate questions. -gw
 
 
 

From His pen of glory flowed teachings for the prevention of war, and these have been scattered far and wide.

According to this delegate, Borna asked a really good question at Baha'i National Convention.
 
 
What are the barriers to growth? What are the cognitions that limit our thinking and prevent us from acting in a way that is optimal for the growth of the Faith? Asking the kind of reflective questions that Borna typically asks is the key to unlocking the door to dramatic expansion. -gw

As I took my videos from the top of the stadium, the child next to me asked how I go there. My legs got me here, like your legs did, I told him. -gw

As the old world sinks beneath the weight of a crumbling old order, so must new world exponents of Bahá’u’lláh’s nascent, integrating World Order climb loftier summits of their sublime calling.
