Join Ken and Michelle as they take a virtual trip to Post Falls, Idaho to visit Royale Lockhart, Lead Quality Child Care Consultant for Region 1, HOPE Facilitator and Champion. College of Education, Health and Human Sciences Center on Disabilities and Human Development, IdahoSTARS Project. As Ken pointed out, her name badge needs a drop down feature.

 Royale shares some insight into best practices supporting families and children with the Four Building Blocks of HOPE –  Relationships, Environments, Engagement, and Emotional growth – and their importance in helping children heal and grow into healthy adults. Positive childhood experiences can outweigh a child's ACES Scores (Adverse Childhood Experiences). The more of these positive experiences the more resiliency you will build.
