The Early Childhood Nutrition Improvement Act introduced by Rep. Bonamici (D-OR) and Rep. Molinaro (R-NY) is an important piece of bipartisan legislation that would help #KeepKidsFed.

Act now and urge your local legislators to cosponsor the bill.

#ChildCare is in crisis. Programs are closing at an alarming rate, under-paid providers are burned out & families are struggling to find care. The Early Childhood Nutrition Improvement Act can help make a difference.

Young people can be #electionheroes too!

In most states, teens under age 18 can serve as poll workers. They gain valuable experience with the democratic process while supporting elections in their communities.

You’re never too busy to show kindness to a child.

When this preschooler showed up for a race (on his pedal-less strider bike) at the local BMX park, his family discovered that he was the only one in his age group to attend.

A group of teenagers there to compete in their own age bracket provided some “competition.” And, would you believe it… the little guy won.

Be like these kids. Such goodness on display.

Want to prepare your baby for a lifetime of success?

Make literacy a priority from the start.

Surround your child with spoken and written language. Speak, read, sing.

And model reading as a skill - and interest - of your own. (Remember there’s nobody your child wants to emulate more than you.)

I love what this family has created, adding literacy to their daily mealtime routines. After each meal, the children hear books read aloud - which is followed by a short period of independent exploration with books.

Look at how attentive these little guys are. At this age, start small… even a minute or two at a time can help start a lifetime habit.

And never forget that literacy learning begins long before children enter kindergarten. Want them to do well in school? Don’t wait until they get there to begin.

Does/did your baby have favorite board books? I’d love to add them to my list.

There are benefits to placing children with relatives, like minimizing trauma, and improving behavioral outcomes. Use this factsheet to learn about how kinship care is improving outcomes for families involved in the #childwelfare system. https://t.co/hMDiPMk2eE #KinshipCareMonth
