The goal of this paper is to analyze four major challenges that American children were facing well before COVID-19 and to discuss some initiatives and programs available to help children and families to overcome or lessen the disease effect. First, we will present information from a variety of research, webinars, and conferences addressing the challenges and programs aimed at alleviating the effects of adverse childhood experiences. Second, we will analyze data from surveys sent to Midwest American early childhood teachers about which programs are the most implemented, and/or helpful.
