When we #ThinkBabies and help parents support their healthy development, we create a better future for all of us – higher graduation rates, more employment, and healthier lives.
We must make the potential of #babies a national priority.

"Infants & toddlers also experience separation and loss, but their needs can be overlooked when caring adults ... assume that children will not remember this time. Yet the young are the most vulnerable."
