[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most important thing to do is to avoid adverse childhood experiences to whatever extent you can.[/quote] Right, and going to Preschool A instead of Preschool B is not an adverse childhood event. Nor is going to public school instead of private, or not being in the gifted program.[/quote] I disagree! I think a genius kid going to a huge public school where he doesn’t fit in can start depression. A messed up elementary school experience is an adverse childhood experience. And I do think preschool matters - not in predicting or preventive mental illness - but finding the preschool that will “feed” your child’s needs. Giving a young child coping skills and engaging in language that is mindful can only help, OP. I think you’re on the right track. There is so much about mental illness that is still unknown. [/quote]
