Supporting child well-being through reducing toxic stress

Everyone experiences stress in their life, but some types of stress are more than a daily nuisance. Toxic stress like poverty, discrimination, abuse, and housing insecurity are continuous stressors that create a constant state of fear and uncertainty.

When stress is persistent and threatening to a child, the impacts are toxic: damaging their developing brain and body, impacting their physical and mental health. Youth living in environments with consistently toxic levels of stress can have difficulty learning, working, behaving, and maintaining healthy relationships. Toxic stress and traumatic events impact adolescents’ decision-making, impulse control, and emotional regulation. These, in turn, impact their mental health.

“The good news is that parents can teach and model healthy coping skills to reduce the effects of toxic stress,” said Linda Hall, director of the Office of Children’s Mental Health. “Teaching children how to cope with stress is important, but so is addressing the factors that create toxic stress for families.”

Outlining these impacts on youth mental health, the Office of Children’s Mental Health (OCMH) recently

issued a new fact sheet on toxic stress, and highlighted reduction strategies.

• Parents can instill healthy household habits: connect over meals, get sufficient sleep, exercise, and spend time in nature.

• Families can ensure children have at least one trusted adult in their lives.

• Schools can provide extra support to children known to have been exposed to traumatic events or to be experiencing Adverse Children Experiences (ACEs).

• Policymakers can expand refundable tax credits, which reduce stress, poverty, child neglect, and housing insecurity.

Why this matters

When a child repeatedly experiences threatening or harmful situations, their body remains on high alert, flooded with adrenaline or the stress hormone, cortisol. This is toxic stress, which can damage developing brains and bodies and can cause numerous physical and behavioral problems. Toxic stress can be present at home, at school, or in the community.

What the research says

Toxic stress, such as poverty or emotional abuse, is linked to a host of chron-

ic health conditions. It can change our biology, in which generations pass chronic conditions down the genetic line. Emotionally, children who live with toxic stress can demonstrate oppositional behaviors and struggle with self-regulation, which leads to trouble maintaining healthy relationships. People with toxic stress may have difficulty focusing. This makes mental concentration and completion of tasks problematic in school

and work. Memory problems caused by toxic stress further impact the brain’s ability to learn new content.

Recent research found the pandemic prematurely aged teenage brains years in a matter of months. The effects of this prematurity were similar to that of toxic stress: impacting teens’ emotional regulation, decision-making, and impulse control. These brain changes are linked with anxiety, depression, and learning prob-

lems. In addition, teens report that stress, anxiety, and depression are their biggest barriers to learning.

Divorce, discrimination, housing insecurity, or death of a family member are sources of toxic stress and can be traumatic to children. Some of these experiences and environments are considered Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). ACEs have been studied for years by researchers as they can increase levels of toxic stress.

Most people have at least one ACE. Those with four or more ACEs are at substantial risk of chronic physical and mental health problems.

Children with four or more ACEs are also 32 times more likely to have a learning/ behavioral issue when compared to children with no ACEs.

What’s happening inWisconsin?

In Wisconsin, 60% of adults had at least one ACE, and 16% had four or more. Among low-income moth-

Obituary

SARAH ANN BUSJAHN

Sarah Ann Busjahn passed away April 3, 2023, at age 88. She was born April 23, 1934, in Green County, WI, to Otto Becker and Fern Douglas Becker.

Her interests were cake, decorating sewing, beadwork, writing, photography, house plants, flower arranging, canoe racing and family history. She had articles printed in newspapers, magazines and anthologies.

Sarah graduated from Juda High School in 1952.

She married Elvin Busjahn on June 20, 1952. They enjoyed canoe racing; farming; winters at their home in Linden, Tennessee; Homemaker Club; Craft Club; Green County Writers Club; Orfordville American Legion Auxiliary; Rock County Writers Club; Brodhead Gardening Club; Quilt Clubs in Brodhead and Orfordville; their family of three sons, four granddaughters, one grand-

ers, 85% had at least one ACE, and 43% experienced four or more ACEs.

Reducing and addressing toxic stress

Brain plasticity – the ability of the brain to continually adapt in response to the environment – means that kids can recover from stress. Kids’ brains and bodies are able to cope with stress through mindfulness practices, exercise, good nutrition, adequate sleep, and healthy social interactions.

If toxic stress stops and is replaced by practices that build resilience in a caring environment, the brain can slowly undo many of the stress-induced changes. Resilience is the ability to cope and recover from difficulties and is a proven strategy that increases mental well-being. Resilience is a skill that kids can learn.

Protective factors also help to lessen the consequences of toxic stress. A trusted relationship with a caring adult is the key protective factor. Caring adults can help kids recover from adversity by establishing a positive connection and developing healthy coping strategies to deal with stress.

Adults can create environments that make resilience building possible, and that help prevent toxic stress from occurring in childhood. Refundable tax credits like the Child Tax Credit help to reduce child neglect, youth violence, and child poverty.

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are potentially traumatic experiences that cause toxic stress. Adversities can be experienced within the family, or outside

Rock County Highway Commissioner advises drivers to pay attention, slow down this construction season

Rock County Highway

Commissioner Duane Jorgenson urges people to drive carefully in highway work zones throughout the 2023 construction and maintenance season.

“Our highway crews work very hard for our communities, often within feet of traffic,” Jorgenson said. “Just like you, they want to make it home at night to their families. Please pay attention and slow down –especially in work zones.”

According to data provided by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), over the past five years there have been more than 11,500 crashes in Wisconsin work zones causing 63 deaths and more than 4,300 injuries.

In Wisconsin, work zones include major highway construction and rehabilitation, maintenance, emergency response, utility work, municipal projects and more – any time in which there are flashing lights, signs, barrels or workers on the road.

This year’s National Work Zone Awareness Week takes place April 17-21. This year’s theme is “You play a role in work zone safety. Work with us.” Work Zone Awareness

Week is sponsored by federal, state and local transportation

• Stress

What we can do

Parents/caregivers:

officials to draw attention to the safety needs of road workers during construction season.

Today, April 19, is “Go Orange Day,” in which people are asked to wear something orange in support of highway safety. Everyone is encouraged to submit photos of themselves, their family, and their friends wearing orange to our office at highway@co.rock.wi.us and we will post them on our Work Zone Safety webpage. Show your support on social media by posting your pictures and use the hashtag #OrangeForSafety, but please always refrain from using electronics while driving.

“We ask everyone on the road to eliminate distractions and be mindful of their speed,” Jorgenson said. “Even in areas with reduced speed limits, things can happen in an instant. Always expect the unexpected.”

While typical construction work zones are prevalent throughout the county and state, there are also significant numbers of maintenance operations that may be short-term or moving operations. Drivers are reminded of the state’s Move Over Law, which requires drivers to shift lanes or slow down to provide a safety buffer for a

(Continued from page 2)

• Seek help if you or your children feel unsafe in your home.

• Ensure children have at least one trusted adult in their lives.

• Strengthen skills and relationships that help families cope with stress.

• Instill healthy household habits: connect over meals, get sufficient sleep, exercise, and spend time in nature.

• Develop healthy coping skills and teach your child how to build their own resilience.

Resilient Wisconsin offers numerous resources: www.dhs. wisconsin.gov/resilient.

Policymakers:

• Invest in high-quality early care and education for children living in high-poverty communities.

• Expand refundable tax credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit, to ease financial burden on working parents.

Schools:

• Cultivate a trauma-informed school with trau-

law enforcement vehicle, ambulance, fire truck, tow truck, utility vehicle, or highway maintenance vehicle that is stopped on the side of a road with its warning lights flashing.

In addition, emergency or work zone areas are protected by laws that aim to keep workers safe. Hand-held cell phone use is illegal and fines double in construction zones as well as areas surrounding emergency response vehicles with flashing lights.

Before traveling, drivers are encouraged to check 511 Wisconsin – 511wi.gov and @511WI on Twitter – or use the 511 Wisconsin smartphone app for updates on road conditions and traffic.

Give your undivided attention to the road

• Eliminate distractions. Eating, drinking, talking on the phone, or simply changing the radio station can divert your focus to the road ahead.

• Expect the unexpected. Speed limits may be reduced, traffic lanes may be changed, and people and vehicles may be working on or near the road.

• Slow down. A car traveling 60 mph travels 88 feet per second, and the faster you go the

ma-sensitive strategies, whole school wellness practices, and social emotional skill-building in all grades.

• Provide extra support to children known to have been exposed to traumatic events or to be experiencing ACEs.

• Include resources such as crisis lines for parents and students to access if feeling unsafe in their home.

Providers:

• Provide trauma-informed care.

• Consider screening patients for ACEs.

The Rock County Highway Department has acknowledged a need to initiate a higher level of maintenance regarding rural roadside vegetation management, primarily the eradication of noxious invasive plant species. Invasive species within the road right-of-way and adjacent properties can pose significant health risks to highway workers, utility workers, emergency responders, and anyone else utilizing the right-of-way. In the coming month, residents may notice crews spraying these areas to help control and eradicate Wild Parsnip and other harmful invasive weed species. Staff has been trained and certified in applying EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) certified herbicides. These herbicides are plant-specific and will not hurt native plants. This means grasses, milkweed, and other native plants will flourish, helping the wildlife and pollinators. The intention is to spray all county roads on the east side of the county

this year (STH 51 to the east county line). They will also be spraying selected areas on State Highways and Rock County Park Trails.

The window of opportunity will be dictated by weather; however, it is anticipated there will be three weeks of spraying starting in late April or early May.

The following herbicide formula will be used (herbicide, EPA registration number, active ingredient, application rate):

• TerraVue, 62719-738, Aminopyralid-Potassium, 2.5 oz./acre

• Plateau, 241-365, Imazapic, 4 oz./acre

• MSO, Exempt, (Surfactant), 1 pt./acre

• Compadre, 228-386, (Drift Control), 3.5 oz./acre Organic growers are encouraged to contact the Rock County Highway Department with concerns and questions regarding this program. If you have any questions, please contact the highway department office at 608757-5450.

Bostwick issues statement regarding open meetings

Rock County Board Chair

Rich Bostwick issued a statement on April 14 regarding open meetings:

longer it takes to stop.

• Give yourself room. Rearend collisions are the most common work zone crashes, so don’t tailgate.

• Allow about three seconds of braking distance. Look for signs. Orange, diamond-shaped signs usually give you ample warning of lane closings, construction areas, and flaggers and other workers ahead.

• Be patient. If you don’t see workers, that doesn’t mean they’re not there. Observe the signs until you see one that says you’ve left the work zone.

• Plan ahead. Leave early or map out an alternate route. Find the latest road conditions and work zone news at 511 Wisconsin.

• Follow the law. Move over, if possible, or slow down when you see flashing lights.

• Consider turning off the phone until you reach your destination.

• If you have to make a call, find a secure place to pull over and stop, such as a wayside or a gas station.

Visit the WisDOT website to learn more and test your knowledge by taking the work zone safety quiz: wisconsindot.gov/ Pages/safety/education/workzone/default.aspx.

• Complete the CDC ACEs Provider Training Modules, offered by professional role: vetoviolence.cdc.gov/apps/aces-training.

• Leverage the resources of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network: www.nctsn. org.

Renovations are a great way for homeowners to reshape their homes. Some may aspire to renovate so their home is more reflective of their personal taste, while others may do so in an effort to make their homes better align with modern styles and sensibilities. Regardless of why a homeowner chooses to renovate, the need to do so is often evident to the naked eye, especially when the time comes to update home exteriors.

Curb appeal is often discussed in regard to the effects it can have when selling a home. But curb appeal is equally important for homeowners who aren’t putting their homes on the market.

A well-maintained, aesthetically appealing home is a source of pride,

while a home with fading curb appeal can make homeowners feel a little sheepish. Homeowners who want their homes to maintain their curb appeal can look for signs that it’s time to update their home exteriors.

CURLING SHINGLES

The roof may not be the first thing people think of when pondering curb appeal, but a damaged roof can contribute to problems that ultimately affect the exterior and interior of the home. Multiple curling shingles indicate it’s time to replace the roof. The sight of curling shingles is not pretty, but the larger issue in such instances is the potential for costly water damage when water gets in through the affected shingles.

DATED ENTRY DOOR

Many home improvement experts insist they can determine when a home was built or most recently renovated simply by looking at the front door. Steel and glass doors are popular in modern homes, so homeowners with front doors with ornate designs and oval glass inserts can likely benefit from an upgrade to their entryway. A modern front door can make a statement and real estate experts note how popular updated front doors are among buyers.

UNSIGHTLY LANDSCAPING

It’s not only the physical components of the home that may suggest an update is necessary. Homeowners without a green thumb may have exterior landscaping that has seen better days. If a spring or summer day spent tending to your

landscaping is not your ideal weekend pastime, then consider replacing unsightly landscaping with low-maintenance plants or hardscaping. These alternatives to more needy plants can create curb appeal without requiring any extra work for homeowners.

CRACKED DRIVEWAYS/ WALKWAYS

If the driveway looks like a busy road at the end of snow plowing season, chances are that’s adversely affecting the impression people have of your home. In addition, cracked walkways indicate a need for renovations, as these areas are front and center when welcoming guests.

Updating a home’s exterior can restore curb appeal and help homeowners feel better about their properties (METRO CREATIVE)

Want your hardwood floors to last for generations?

Use these expert tips

Solid hardwood floors are beautiful and timeless, adding value to any property. However, there’s a misconception that real hardwood floors are difficult to maintain. The truth is that they can last for decades, as long you follow a few simple steps on a regular schedule.

In fact, the time that goes into maintaining hardwood floors isn’t much more extensive than any other flooring material. The key is to practice regular care and cleaning for your hardwood to keep grit and dirt from scratching the wood.

“Hardwood floors are special, and if properly taken care of, you can have a living, organic, premium floor that lasts for generations,” said Jen Meska, director of Merchandising for LL Flooring (formerly Lumber Liquidators). “But to keep them in top shape, it’s essential to have a regular cleaning schedule and be extra-mindful of any conditions in your home that could damage your floors.”

TOOLS, TIPS, AND TRICKS

Meska says to start with the fundamental tools for caring for hardwood flooring: a dust mop for everyday cleaning, a vacuum for weekly cleaning, and a microfiber mop that can get damp (not wet!) for monthly, deep cleaning.

To keep day-to-day dirt and grit off your floors, aim to sweep or vacuum weekly. When using a vacuum for regular cleanings, opt for a soft floor attachment or hardwood setting that disengages the beater bar (this is the bar that rotates when cleaning carpet.) By disengaging it on hardwood and avoiding a vacuum or attachment with hard bristles, you can avoid any scuffing or scratching of your floors.

If you have heavy furniture placed directly on your hardwood, be sure to use felt pads on the feet to avoid scratches, and replace them regularly. This also includes furniture that is moved frequently, such as dining room chairs.

Strive to do a deep clean monthly to ensure you pick up the dirt and grime that inevitably forms over time.

A great hardwood flooring care set is LL Flooring’s Bellawood Floor Care

Maintenance Kit, which comes with a bottle of floor cleaner, a mop head and handle, washable wet mop microfiber pad, dry mop pad and a variety pack of felt pads.

This set is Greenguard Gold Certified, which means it’s third-party tested for low chemical emissions and therefore safe to use at home.

It’s also urethane-safe and won’t leave a dull-streaky residue on your floors, so they’ll look refreshed when you’re done cleaning.

WHAT TO AVOID

Relative to most other flooring materials, solid hardwood is sensitive to moisture, whether that be due to wet shoes or just changes in humidity. Therefore, it’s important to keep any amount of standing water off the planks.

That means ditch the traditional mop and bucket, which can leave behind water that could cause your floors to swell, crack or splinter.

Another critical thing to avoid is harsh cleaning solutions which include ingredients like chlorine bleach, ammonia, pine oil or undiluted vinegar. These can dull your floors by affecting the protective finish, causing

lasting damage.

“The best thing about hardwood flooring is that it’s a sustainable, living, organic material that takes on its own unique character throughout its lifetime,” said Meska. “Each plank is unique and tells its own story, and with the proper care, they can serve as the design foundation of your home for generations.”
