I chose the zerotothree.org website because I work with the Infants and Toddlers program in Dorchester County. This is a great website to use to help families. Many of the parents, I work with, are having concerns with behavior. I am encountering more young children with mental health concerns. This website has excellent resources for mental health concerns in young children. When I speak to the doctors, more children are becoming more aggressive, especially children on the autism spectrum. I find this website extremely useful in explaining to parents with special needs children that some of the behavior concerns they have are similar concerns of parents with typically developing children.
Zero to three has excellent resources dealing with behavior, development, maltreatment, care, education, public policy and more. It provides information to keep early childhood professionals current with the issues parents face today. Many parents find they have quite a few questions about the correct way to raise their child. More children are experiencing metal health issues. This website provides tools parents can use to assist with mental health concerns.
There is a military families section which lists trainings taking place at varies military installations. I am familiar with the challenges associated with deployment as a civilian military family. The trainings provide techniques where early childhood professionals can be more supported of military and civilian families. I am looking forward to reading the "From Baby to Big Kid" newsletter.
Please let me know if there are any questions I can answer from the Zero to Three website?
I contacted UNICEF globally. I emailed the Cote d' Ivoire, France and Germany. In junior high and high school, I took French. I remember enough of French to speak and write it. In college, I took German. I speak enough German to communicate basic needs. Since I took in school these languages, I would like to learn more about the culture of the languages I have studied.
I would like to work on contacting the three countries for another few days before I use the alternate global contact. It is exciting contacting Cote d' Ivoire, France and Germany. Each country had the website in their home language. I had to look up some words to understand how to fill in the forms when I was inserting my information. I am hoping the countries respond to my email. I am looking forward to building a relationship with early childhood professionals in these countries in order to observe their educational systems and collaborate with them.
