Does anyone have stats or data that shows how many or what percentage of parents with children 0-18 have ACEs of 4+? Either nationwide or by state. I would even take, how many/what percentage of children have parents with high ACEs... Thank you!

Jocelyn: Great question. I suggest asking on the ACEs Connection home site so more people see / respond. Cissy
Jocelyn:
when you click post from the home page there is a drop down menu. If you select ask the community, you can ask a question there.
It's always give to do a blog post, too. But those can move quickly from the home page depending how many we get. Questions to the community stay on the home page a bit longer. Let me know if you need any help!

P.S. There's more activity during the week than on the weekend, too.
Jocelyn:
Here's some article links that might be helpful. There's great data on general populations of adults with ACEs and even more on children with ACEs but I'm not sure there's anything that ties it together as directly as you are asking (though that would be fantastic). Here are some places for digging further.
This special issue can link you to lots of writers and researchers and places to dig deeper. I know Laura Porter and Donna Jackson Nakazawa both talk about how parents with ACEs have kids with ACEs in higher percentages than parents without ACEs do. I hope you can join the chat tomorrow that Jane Stevens is doing with Donna Jackson Nakazawa live on ACEs Connection and ask this very question.
Also, I also suggest posting this to the entire ACEs community because I know the wider community and others on the ACEs Connection team will be able to help more. I'm so glad you are a part of this community!!!
