I've seen comments here about school (both successes and failures), limits on kids and aspects of learning. However, the article seems to be focusing on allowing a child to be a child. I have a reasonably high ACES score and while it's anecdotal on my experience, I can say for sure it affected my learning. I needed to worry about adult aspects of living when I was very young. I was focused on staying alive and didn't have the capacity to learn the way I could have. My partner is a teacher and I can say, she is regularly working with kids, families and different support groups to try to help kids be in a place to actually learn.

There are other notable effects of a high ACES score and being on the older side myself, I can add my anecdotal comment that I fit comfortably into my score.
