Sharing Web Resources WK4


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.

  1. Hey Lisa,

    It 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.
