This is narrative review over the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on children in the range of 0-5 years old. The main related ACE in this range of age are stated and the evidence on the sequelae which 3 or more ACEs can provoke on the children’s general, cognitive, social and emotional developments, as well as on their general health and school trajectory, are all discussed. Then, the importance of filtering these experiences, and overcoming the health barriers faced by these children, while promoting stable, secure, and nurturing relationships, as a strategy to challenge the transmission of violence patterns, are all discussed as well. A conclusion is that ACE are a serious risk to the development of children, and therefore, the issue should be timely addressed, particularly within the first 5 years of age when the negative impacts are greatest.
