The people at Zero to Three have a very clear mission
"ZERO TO THREE is a national, nonprofit organization that provides parents, professionals and policymakers the knowledge and know-how to nurture early development. At ZERO TO THREE our mission is to ensure that all babies and toddlers have a strong start in life. We know that as babies, the way we are held, talked to and cared for teaches us about who we are and how we are valued. This profoundly shapes who we will become" (http://www.zerotothree.org).
This month ZTT's newsletter/journal is addressing the issue of maternal depression, and how it effects children in the home. Maternal depression is a serious issue and can have long term and lasting effects on children. While I do not have children, I have helped others battle postpartum depression, and know how serious and dire it can be.
ZTT's monthly journal is worth the price, but they also have a free newsletter. Whether you subscribe to either, the website it definitely worth taking a look at. As a professional it is an undeniable resource.
Hi Machaela, it is great the you found a website that you are so passionate about and that you use so frequently...I guess it is your go to when you need find information that helps guide you through life!
ReplyDeleteI think that is wonderful to have such an incredible website that focuses so much on the importance of nurturing development! I like how the different issues that they address both in their e-newsletters and journals are issues are both relevant and meaningful for parents and professionals. The topics are things that people can relate to as they are going through similar issues or know of someone who is going through it. I also love how you can pose questions and then have your questions answered.
I am just getting more and more familiar with website and I assume that it will become one of my favorites as well.
Thank you for sharing!
Take care,
Stephanie
