One in Ten
The award-winning One in Ten podcast, now in its eighth season, is powered and produced by National Children’s Alliance (NCA). This social science podcast was first launched on May 2, 2019, after our host, NCA CEO, and podcast enthusiast Teresa Huizar, couldn’t find any shows that were directly linked to child abuse and the latest science surrounding the issue. Teresa wanted to create a go-to resource for child abuse professionals, giving them access to the brightest minds dealing with the problem of child abuse. You’re invited to listen to our podcast and get the latest science and overall insights on keeping children safe and helping them heal.

Can a Pandemic Have a Silver Lining?

In “Can a Pandemic Have a Silver Lining?”, we invite Dr. Danielle Roubinov of the University of California to discuss a “research manifesto” letter she and her colleagues published in JAMA Pediatrics in August. Even as a novel coronavirus has upended our world, leading to new public health and safety guidelines that are playing hob with many research projects, it is also fostering innovation. The result has, in some ways, catalyzed research into early childhood adversity.
COVID-19 has also ratcheted up the pressure on parents. Dr. Roubinov has a hopeful message for them, too: Even small positive experiences, and having a strong relationship with a caring adult, can help a child weather adversity.
In this episode:
- The intersection of childhood adversity and the pandemic (1:32)
- Why we focus on the negative (4:49)
- Concerns about disparities and about parents’ mental health (9:51)
- The absence of a negative is not always a positive (14:12)
- Polystrengths, and the importance of caregivers (16:48)
- ABC intervention: Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (27:15)
- An open letter to policymakers (35:35)
- A message for parents (37:52)
