My husband and I were trained as facilitators for Darkness to Light's Stewards of Children Training as well as foster parent and trauma trainings. I understand the high risk and vulnerability especially of children with high ACE scores. My activity book, Raising PEARLS:Prepared, Empowered, Armored, Restored,...

I forgot to add that Raising PEARLS activities, affirmations and conversation prompts are for parents to do with their children as young as age 2 up through elementary age.
