10 Consejos para los padres del año
Como en todo el mundo, los padres esperan ver crecer a sus pequeños. El equipo de Recursos para Padres de CERO A TRES hace una reseña de nuestros principales consejos para padres."Sure, it’s sweet when a kid sits quietly and pages through a pile of classics, but — at least in my house — this definitely isn’t the only way little ones investigate books. Flipping pages quickly, hunting for the junk food page in The Very Hungry Caterpillar, wearing books as hats, kissing all the cuddly creatures in Baby Touch and Feel: Animals, stuffing a bag with board books for a pretend “trip,” and lining up ten books on the floor to make a “train” are all early reading behaviors, too. Remind yourself this is what kids are supposed to do, and find something positive to say. “Wow, your hat has a caterpillar on it!”
Empowering young children to spend time independently looking at books positions reading as a source of worthy entertainment, whether or not an adult is available to read aloud.
The average annual cost for infant child care is more than college tuition at public colleges in 28 states. How can we continue to invest in affordable child care as a community? #stateofchildcare
