AI Summary
This resolution declares May 10, 2025, as Stronger Starts for Children Day in California, highlighting the critical work of First 5 California in supporting early childhood development. The resolution provides context about adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress response (TSR), explaining that these are severe adversities and stress reactions that can significantly impact children's long-term health and development, particularly during the critical brain development period from prenatal to five years old. It notes that nearly two million California children are affected by ACEs, which can lead to health, behavioral, and learning problems, and that these challenges can potentially result in up to $1.5 billion in annual health costs. The resolution emphasizes the importance of creating safe, stable, and nurturing relationships and environments for children, and highlights a survey showing that 87 to 93 percent of caregivers are willing to take action to manage toxic stress after receiving information. By designating this special day, the California Legislature aims to commit itself to advancing the health and well-being of children and families through First 5 California's Stronger Starts campaign, with the Chief Clerk of the Assembly instructed to distribute copies of the resolution.
