Sharing Web Resources

I chose the Zero to Three Organization, whose link is: http://www.zerotothree.org/. I subscribed to their newsletter but I have not received it as of yet. Zero to Three is a nationally known nonprofit that provides knowledge and know-how to nurture early development for parents, professionals, and policymakers. Their mission is to ensure that all babies and toddlers have a strong start in life. I haven’t received the newsletter yet but I did look into their podcasts and watch one of the videos. They were talking about the emotional life of young children and how hard it is for parents to understand that children have a lot of emotions. They talked about how parents know that children have hungry cries and tired cries but they also talked about how babies experience sadness and anger. My job is to train childcare providers on teaching children social emotional skills and also understanding when a child expressing their feelings. I really enjoyed reading this because it just let me know that my job is needed in the world. We have to teach children social emotional skills just like we would teach everything else to them. I also found on their page Journals from 2001-2012 and I will be reading some of them for future assignments and also to better my understanding of the issues that they tackle. Here is also a link to their podcast with videos that I will be watching throughout this course to learn more about this organization: http://www.zerotothree.org/about-us/funded-projects/parenting-resources/podcast/
