The chronically
stressed mice had decreased immune function and experienced tumor development significantly
earlier than the non-
stressed mice.16 Other mouse studies of ovarian cancer showed that
chronic stress resulted in increased cancer growth as well as increased angiogenesis, the process with which cancer forms new blood vessels to feed itself nutrients for growth and metastases.17 Chronic stress has also been shown to decrease our body's ability to mount an attack against foreign invaders, including viruses.18 As we know that several viruses can cause cancer (HPV and cervical cancer, and EBV and nasopharyngeal cancer), we can extrapolate that any decrease in immune function could increase cance

This compelling knowledge base underscores three significant, unmet needs: (1) valid and reliable biological and bio-behavioral measures (or «biomarkers») of «toxic
stress» to identify children who are at higher risk of
chronic disease in adulthood; (2) more effective intervention strategies to prevent, reduce, or mitigate the long - term health consequences of significant adversity in
early childhood; and (3) biomarkers that are sensitive to change and can thus be used to assess the short - term and medium - term effects of intervention strategies whose ultimate impacts on physical and mental health may not be apparent until decades later.
These emotions can also reflect the accumulation of
chronic and recurrent stressful experiences during
early development, especially if they are the result of toxic
stress.

With many years of experience in creating spaces for children in diverse settings for children who have experienced trauma, Ileen will help you think creatively about ways to include all the best
early childhood principles and the latest in brain development theory into designing spaces where children find themselves during the aftermath of trauma and
chronic stress.
Due to effects of multigenerational poverty, limited educational and economic opportunities, high levels of drug use and trade, and pervasive community violence, urban youth in Baltimore and many US cities are at increased risk for exposure to a variety of
stresses, including
early life
stress, recurrent and
chronic stress, and exposure to significant and / or recurrent traumas.
Prior work has shown that family support and problem - solving skills delivered during later childhood and
early adolescence can help protect youth from adverse physiological
stress reactions (Chen et al., 2011; Brody et al., 2014) whereas parental maltreatment or other adverse events in childhood contribute to vulnerability to
chronic diseases later in life (Repetti et al., 2002; Shonkoff et al., 2009).
Many of these children, especially those for whom the
stress is particularly severe,
chronic, or pervasive, will have difficulty overcoming their persistent physiological and psychological responses to their
earlier stress.
Third,
chronic stress associated with family violence may alter hypothalamic - pituitary axis functioning, lead to dysregulation of neuroendocrine systems controlling appetite, and influence hormonal regulation of visceral fat distribution.35 Other traumatic childhood experiences have been linked to altered serotonin and cortisol systems.70 Overlapping research has shown that bulimia is associated with decreased serotonin metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid,71 - 73 reduced platelet binding of serotonin reuptake inhibitors, 73 reduced density of paroxetine - binding sites, and altered cortisol function.70 Thus,
early - life disruption of neuroendocrine systems may elevate risk for disordered eating behaviors and suboptimal fat storage and distribution.
These findings are also in line with other studies that have shown that
chronic caregiver
stress in the postpartum and
early childhood period has been associated with persistent wheeze in
early childhood4 as well as factors that may initiate or potentiate inflammation in the lung (eg, IgE expression, enhanced nonspecific and allergen - specific lymphocyte proliferation, differential cytokine expression).5, 7 Both persistent wheeze and atopy have been linked to reduced lung function in childhood.49 This cumulative
stress model is particularly relevant given that maternal IPV may become a more direct stressor for toddlers who are witnessing violence against their mothers.50
Studies consistently suggest that exposure to trauma or
chronic early life
stress may impair the development of executive function skills.6, 7,9,10,11 These skills appear to provide the foundation for school readiness through cognition and behaviour.3, 12 Children with better executive function skills may be more teachable.3 Indeed, in a high - risk sample, children with better executive function skills at the beginning of kindergarten showed greater gains in literacy and numeracy than children with poorer initial skills.12 Considering there is evidence that

Studies consistently suggest that exposure to trauma or
chronic early life
stress may impair the development of executive function skills.6, 7,9,10,11 These skills appear to provide the foundation for school readiness through cognition and behaviour.3, 12 Children with better executive function skills may be more teachable.3 Indeed, in a high - risk sample, children with better executive function skills at the beginning of kindergarten showed greater gains in literacy and numeracy than children with poorer initial skills.12 Considering there is evidence that the achievement gap persists and may even widen across the school years, 16,17 it is critical that high - risk children begin school with as successful of a start as possible.
A harsh
early environment was associated with an elevated flat cortisol trajectory across the
stress tasks, suggesting that HPA axis functioning may have been compromised by recurring or
chronic early life
stress exposure.
In humans, the end product of the HPA axis is cortisol, a steroid hormone that follows a diurnal rhythm — increasing
early in the morning, peaking approximately 30 minutes after waking, and declining throughout the day, reaching near - zero levels at night.14 This diurnal pattern is not present at birth but begins to emerge around 3 months of age15, 16 and is fully entrained to daylight cycles by age 2 years.17 Children experiencing social deprivation or maltreatment show departures from this typical profile of diurnal HPA activity, suggestive of
chronic stress.
The cumulative adverse biological effects of
chronic or recurring
stress responses, in conjunction with genetic risks and those acquired in the
early environment, in turn, lead to mental and physical health risks (10).
Special emphasis is placed on the neurobiological impact of
early childhood trauma, ways in which affect and behavior are responses to a state of
stress / distress, and the ways in which play therapy is well suited to address signs and symptoms of acute and
chronic stress in children and youth.

Chronic early trauma alters children's
stress reactivity and increases the prevalence of anxiety disorders; yet the neuroendocrine and immune mechanisms underpinning this effect are not fully clear.
The causes of
chronic conditions are believed to include: poor foetal and child health; poor diet throughout the lifecycle; smoking and alcohol misuse; a lack of access to primary health care (which is important in the detection and
early prevention of
chronic conditions); and social
stress.
