Why Do We Do This?In 2014, one in five (21.8%) children in America were living under the official poverty line, half of all children will be on food stamps before they turn 20. ( U.S. Census, 2014)
As educators we must be sensitive to the effects of poverty on our students state of mind and ensure that we separate their developing sense of self from their living conditions. (Education Equity, December 3, 2015)

*Trauma to any part of the brain can effect the systems that part controls*For example, an injury to the frontal lobe can result in a loss of self control (impulsivity, anger, aggression)

Physical, Emotional, and Sexual Abuse
Experiencing abuse can also lead to changes in the brain effecting emotions and behavior.
Often respond excessively to minor triggers
The amygdala controls emotions (fight, flight, or freeze)
The hippocampus processes information and stores memories
Toxic stress effects the amygdala and the hippocampus
