I have learned that if you have questions and no one around
to answer the question, the world wide web is available. The information found
on the web is outstanding. However, not all information is good information
too. You have to use common sense and try only to use creditable resources for
information. With that said lately I have been researching websites related
early childhood development. www.zerotothree.com
is one that has caught my eye. Each week or more I have received emails from
them that has definitely given me a better understanding in my job and career. The
emails alone are informative to help the lives of children. They are also very
informative to the adults in their lives. Just recently I got an email from
them about a weekly youtube series they are sponsoring or posting on the topic
of Daddy’s matters. I think this is great. It gives an insight to how a dad
matters in a child’s life. Some dad’s just don’t know how to get involved or
really understand the impact they have on children. I am loving this idea. I
fully support this. I feel that this is just another thing that this website
and team have put together to put knowledge out there. I love it!!!
Professionally, I feel that this and others like this is a great way to support
families and teachers to support families we work with. Now it just so happens
to be around Father’s Day that this is presented but in reality we can
celebrate Dad’s all the time.
If I am going to be honest, which I strive to be, I have not
found anything on the website to be controversial in my eyes. When it comes to
children, it all needs to be addressed and told. If we try to say well we did
not know, then ignorance can be the excuse and in my opinion its children we
are talking about, that’s not a proper excuse in my eyes. Kids didn’t ask to
exist so it is up to us to advocate, educate, and spread the word.
The website provides information and resources about
building strong families like in the areas of child welfare, home visits, other
basic needs, etc. Then there are resources and information provided for early
learning experiences. These include early intervention policies and areas for
early childhood systems. The website also gives you an opportunity to join the
policy network offering ways to work with politicians for ECE. We want them to
hear our concerns being that we are in the field.
Now that I have had time to sit down and explore the website
more thoroughly, I love this website. There is not much I can say that does not
help me in my career to help support me daily or those around me.

Hey Lisa,
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to hear that Zero to Three has been a great website for you. Did you get the emails when you signed up to become a member? I also tried, but have not recieved any emails.
As for the topic of dad involvement, I 100% agree with you. Having both parents actively involved in their child's life will ensure that everyone is working for the good of the child.
