This article was super effective at showing just how difficult these times may be for some children/families, and how long lasting the effects can be at blocking proper development in a child.

[Haley Nicholson @HNicholsonDev20]

This article about the impact of food insecurity on children spoke to me because I have taken a course around this topic before. Children need proper nutrition to thrive, and this pandemic is hindering some families from being able to provide for their kids. #umassdev20 #week14

“Especially in times of crises, school meals have been shown to support children’s health and educational outcomes.”

@ElisabettAurino and @WolfsSharon on why #FoodInsecurity may have lasting consequences on #ChildDevelopment.

This article was so effective as it highlighted pros and cons of talking to your child versus with your child. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and learned so much.

[Haley Nicholson @HNicholsonDev20]

Talking with children has so many great benefits for them, whether it be promoting learning or helping them foster important social skills. Quality of conversation always will outweigh quantity in this case. #umassdev20 #week13

“All of these abilities - recalling events from the past, planning for the future, and the ability to take others’ perspectives - are essential for children's success in school.”

Four forms of bullying exist: physical, verbal, social, and cyberbullying. #umassdev20 #week13

[Haley Nicholson @HNicholsonDev20]

This article was really effective due to its conversational nature that explained things clearly to a parent that may be struggling with this issue of how to approach this topic with their child.

[Haley Nicholson @HNicholsonDev20]

This article was so worthwhile to read. Children should always be kept in the know with honest information, as it can help them to express there feelings in a manner which will be greeted with support, rathe than trying to hold back these feelings. #umassdev20 #week12

“Parents should share the latest information with their children, explaining it in a simple, matter-of-fact, and age-appropriate way. They also need to take their concerns seriously.”
