As you know I have been exploring the Zero to Three website. This week I reviewed a section of their website that I had not previously looked at. On their website they have a section dedicated to Military families. I was surprised that I hadn’t noticed this before because my husband is in the military. I learned that they have special conferences for people who work with children in military families. They focus on how to help these children deal with the consequences of military life. I was very excited when I read about these workshops, but unfortunately they aren’t having any near me for a least a year. As I explored this section further I found E-Learning courses that I think would be helpful for anyone working with children whose parents are in the military. I have not had time to take these courses yet, but hope to in the near future.

For anyone interested in taking these courses the link is:

I think that this section proves that Zero to Three is dedicated to helping all children. I believe this shows true dedication and excellence in the early childhood education field.

I also receive the Zero to Three newsletter. In the newsletter I found an interesting article titled “Healthy Minds: Nurturing Your Child’s Development from 9 to12.” It gave information on how to help develop your child’s mind. It also suggested various ways to help scaffold your child’s emotional and physical development. To access this article go to http://www.zerotothree.org/ and click on “Download of the Week.”
