Thank you Abby for an amazing write up, I felt it was talking to me in several parts, you know i'm kinda Mr stress lol
Let's say for one, learning that stress affects brain structure... a smaller /damaged hippocampus, wow!
And it is great news that adults can have reversible effects for such cases, yet most importantly is how to assist your child mentally enough to grow strong against stress and properly manage it from childhood.
I do believe in that idea that lots of personality traits can be inherited. I see this hands-on with my baby girl.
Thanks again! :)

Hello my Dear :)
I am so pleased to hear you found the post helpful!
Yes, it is the action of glucocorticoids that damages some areas of the brain. As you know, these are stress hormones that are released during the activation of the HPA axis. A damaged hippocampus is less efficient in controlling the axis. But, you have a great advantage @mcfarhat: your dedication and love for exercise (so good for your brain!).
May I just say that I just loved that you mentioned the importance of a supportive upbringing for children. Yo may just have given me an idea for a post! :D
Lots of love to you and your famile!

haha excellent .. looking forward to that post !
Likewise to you dear Abby ! :)
