1/2 Happy to announce October as Developmental Screening Month in Connecticut. Just two years after its implementation, we’ve seen families across our state rapidly adopt Sparkler’s new, innovative technology —

This summer, I loved partnering with @PlaySparkler on their virtual summer camp, bringing stories from all around the world to young children. Here's the "theme song" I wrote for it, and for all of you storytellers and story-listeners out there:

"Every month matters" in the early years of a child's life, says Commissioner Bye of Connecticut's Office of Early Childhood. That's why the state has made Sparkler available statewide. Download @PlaySparkler today and use access code: BridgeportFAM to get started! #BridgeportCT

#OnceUponATime in Japan, people told a story called The Two Frogs Who Hop Between Osaka and Kyoto. 🐸 Hop on over to your @PlaySparkler app to hear Japanese actor and artist Yokko tell the story, then play about it with your child!

Talking to kids about race can be incredibly challenging, regardless of our own race. This guide makes it infinitely more accessible, practical and simple enough to implement today. Thank you to @PlaySparkler and @NOGGINKids for making this. ❤️

Do you love bread?? (Of course you do.) Well I loved writing this bread song for @PlaySparkler's Us Time! It's a starting point for young kids to talk about immigration, celebrate culture, and break bread together! Enjoy!! https://t.co/qJuct5fbkI

[Benjamin Weiner @benjaweiner]

I try not to focus too much on view counts. But I am SO HAPPY kids are starting to see this song I did with @PlaySparkler. It's a save-the-world song but you can also dance to it and that's the kind of thing I'm so happy to be making!!

When I had big feelings as a kid, my mom would say, "use your words!" (She may have also said it to the dog.) This is SUCH a vital lesson, and now, from me and @PlaySparkler, it's a danceable song! "You've Got Words!"

What are the impacts of kids not having the chance to play and play independently? New research, published in the @JPediatr, suggests that it's leading to a rise in children's mental health disorders: https://t.co/tthRUsQhYG
