The organization that I chose is called Zero To Three, http://zerotothree.org.
This organization is a national organization that is geared toward helping parents, professionals, and policymakers the knowledge and know how to nurture early development. The mission of the organization is to ensure that all babies and toddlers have a strong start in life.
The organization plays a critical leadership role in promoting understanding around key issues affecting young children and their families, including child care, infant mental health, early language and literacy development, early intervention and the impact of culture on early childhood development.(Zero to Three 2010).
The issue from the website that caught my attention was the maltreatment tab, because this sometimes is an issue in a child's life. In this tab it talked about child abuse and neglect, impact of trauma on children, and building strong families and healthy communities. This tab shared alot of useful information that can be very helpful to a caregiver or a parent.

I also chose this website. I found that the information within this website will be a great resource for parents too! Do you service families that could benefit from the information on this website?
ReplyDeleteHi, Laroyia.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I agree that this is a great website. Sometimes, it is hard to believe that a very small baby can be affected by thousands of things happening in the world and some decisions by parents and their behavior can impact the baby even before she arrives in the world. Maltreatment can start even before birth and therefore we can see how important its negative impact can be. It is also a sensitive topic to discuss with families and that is where professionals come into play.
Thanks,
