Since finding this website I have used it both personally and professionally.  The section that initially caught my eye was the Behavior and Development tab. I have  referenced it myself when I have had question regarding my own children, referred my teachers to the site, and pulled information recently to help me in developing a training for my teachers on challenging behaviors and classroom management.  What I have found quite useful is within each topic there is a tab with tips and tools with some really great information.

BE A VOICE FOR BABIES

Be Informed. Be Connected. Be Active.

Join the ZERO TO THREE Policy Network

The Public Policy section provides information for the general public to stay on top of new federal, state, and community policy approaches.  Specific articles included information on possible areas of budget cuts and how it will effect programs that support the health and development of infants and toddlers.

I have gained a lot of information from the following section:

Baby Brain Map

Age specific information is provided based on the brain’s development within that age range.  This section also provides information in which you can use to enrich your little one’s development.

It really motivates me to find organizations that allow me to be an active advocate for the EC field.  It allows me feel like I am involved and doing my part to educate others as to the benefits of this field and how we are investing in our future.
