Sharing Web Resources

The newsletter I subscribed to was Zero To Three.  The website is ZERO TO THREE Community online: http://www.zerotothree.org.  I got an e-mail response from the site administrator on November 1, 2014.  In the e-mail I was notified that I would not have access to the E-newsletter for two weeks.  I chose Zero to Three to learn more about the organization.  It is a nonprofit organization that provides information on how to nurture children during early childhood.  Information is available to parents, teachers, professionals and policymakers. The organization also provides trainings and support to individuals involved with young children.  Zero to Three’s mission is to ensure young children ranging from birth to toddler are provided a good start in life.

I was able to browse the website to find out more information.  While browsing an issue that caught my eye was the topic challenging behavior.  Currently I work at a child development center where we are noticing an increase in challenging behaviors.  I am the trainer for the facility and I am always looking for information to bring back to the teachers and families.  One training opportunity stood out to me specifically.  The training is for professionals working with military and veteran families.  I work at a military child development center.  The program is not open to the public only to military personal and department of defense employees.  The training charges a fee for the trainers to provide training at a fee of three thousand dollars for a full day.  Some of the training topics offered are: coming together around military families: supporting young children through challenging times and coming together around military families what babies need.  Teachers and families also have an opportunity to listen to audio-conferences and webinars on the same topics.
