| Help Your Baby Sleep Safely So You Can Sleep Soundly | From the American Academy of Pediatrics, "few things make you value sleep more than when you have a new baby. (We're parents, too. We understand.) We can't promise you more sleep, but we can offer you this―less worry and deeper sleep because you know your baby is sleeping safely." | Website |
| Helping Infants and Toddlers Adjust to Divorce | When working with young children and their families, early care and education professionals sometimes find themselves in the position of helping children cope and work through changes in their family systems. One such change that undoubtedly has an effect on young children is divorce. | Document |
| Helping Toddlers Understand Emotion | The strategy of helping toddlers understand emotion may reduce behavioral problems later on, finds a federally funded study led by a Michigan State University researcher. The study, published in the September 2015 issue of the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, could ultimately help those most in need. Toddlers with higher risk, specifically those with more behavioral problems and from the most disadvantaged families, benefited most from being taught about emotion by their mothers. | Document |
| Helping Young Children Who Have Experienced Trauma: Policies and Strategies for Early Care and Education | Early childhood trauma occurs when a young child experiences an event that causes actual harm or poses a serious threat to the child's emotional and physical well-being. These events range from experiencing abuse and neglect to having a parent with substance abuse issues or being separated from a parent. Trauma is different from regular life stressors because it causes a sense of intense fear, terror, and helplessness that is beyond the normal range for typical experiences. | Document |
| High-Quality Infant/Toddler Educators Need Good Training | This white paper examines the learning and social-emotional needs of infants and toddlers and the training requirements and needs of the early childhood professionals who educate and care for them. | Document |
| Hold those babies: Study shows early touch has lasting effects on babies | Forget what Grandma or out-of-date baby books might have once preached: Hold those snuggly newborns as much as you can. It's not only good for you, it's good for them. Research reported in the March 2017 issue of Current Biology shows that those early experiences when babies are touched and held linger in their brains | Website |
| Holding Infants -- or Not -- Can Leave Traces on Their Genes | The amount of physical contact between infants and their caregivers can affect children at the molecular level. This is the first study to show in humans that the simple act of touching, early in life, has deeply-rooted and potentially lifelong consequences on genetic expression. | Document |
| Home Again: Re-Connecting with Your Baby | Welcoming a military parent back home is an exciting time for everyone, including for the youngest members of the families. Sometimes babies are quick to warm up to a returning parent, and other times it takes a while. Watch how military families can support their babies during this transition. | Website |
| How Administrators Can Support Early Childhood Teachers | From Edutopia: "Administrators and other educational leaders can play an enormous role in supporting teachers by making space to foster the joy that initially brings many educators to the profession. Though activities cannot replace systemic change, the following reflection exercises support all adults in the learning community as they seek to celebrate their work with young children." | Website |
| How babies decide who to "chat up" | Babies who understand only one language just assume that other people do, too. A new study, that also finds the same assumption is not held by bilingual babies, may clarify how babies decide whom is worth having a "conversation" with, researchers say. Results not only offer insight into infants' perception of linguistic abilities, but, more importantly, may help to better understand whom they see as good communication partners. | Document |
