I'm a scientist of Child Development helping the world better understand babies (birth - 3yrs), and support their families and educators.

I think not everyone realizes the depth of knowledge, skills, & dispositions needed to be a high quality infant & toddler educator. So excited about this forthcoming book: https://t.co/hjDcQxRUe9 by @CDVallotton et al. LAUNCH WEBINAR Fri 11/19 at 3:00 EST https://t.co/SB6e4pBDmM

Investing in the first five years of a child’s life and education will have long-term payoffs for our society. $150K is better invested in years 0-5 than 18-22. https://t.co/x8PRKizpdO

[Claire Vallotton @CDVallotton]

Our youngest learners deserve well-compensated teachers. It will cost us $30K-$37K/child to pay what early educators deserve. We need a public solution for this investment https://t.co/HQWiYy6ZvM

Infant / Toddler Educators health suffers as a result of working conditions. We MUST do better for our babies’ teachers! Measures of quality should include meeting the needs of both babies and their teachers. ⁦@OPRE_ACF⁩ ⁦@ZEROTOTHREE⁩ ⁦⁦@NatlHeadStart⁩

To help parents support toddlers’ mastery motivation, promote parents’ autonomy-supporting attitudes and behaviors. HDFS Alumnus, Dr. Wen Wang, and faculty member Dr. Claire Vallotton, presented new findings ⁦@SRCDtweets⁩ ⁦@MSUHDFS⁩

To understand indigenous parenting, listen to the voices of indigenous parents. HDFS Masters Student, Kwanda Ndlovu, presents new findings on parenting values and traditions in urban and rural communities in South Africa. ⁦@SRCDtweets⁩ ⁦@MSUHDFS⁩

The sciences of child development, care, and education are complex, interdisciplinary, and applicable to improving lives. We need a new model to communicate what we know. ⁦@SRCDtweets⁩ ⁦@MSUHDFS⁩

Infant /Toddler Workforce Well-Being is not an individual responsibility, it’s OUR responsibility. #OPRENITR @SRCDtweets @OPRE_ACF

[Claire Vallotton @CDVallotton]

Infant / Toddler teachers’ well-being is important as a matter of equity and social justice. #OPRENITR @SRCDtweets @OPRE_ACF

Toddler: (through tears) No! Put the boogers back on my face!
Me: They’re still there.
Toddler: (Wipes face all over my coat.)

This is exciting!

A7.3. States can use the infant-toddler set-aside for everything from establishing centers & networks of quality #childcare to supporting the workforce through training & professional development. #EarlyEdChat

[Claire Vallotton @CDVallotton]

Our greatest payoff for investing in our children’s education and our society’s future is in the first five years of life. #itstartsearly

[ZERO TO THREE @ZEROTOTHREE]

In many states, #childcare costs more than public colleges! Congress should #ThinkBabiesandAct to ensure children receive care that helps them learn & thrive. https://t.co/TePU1Dcr4Z

Early relationships shape the brain and who we become. Support all of those who care for babies so they can teach empathy by modeling it. #itstartsearly

[ZERO TO THREE @ZEROTOTHREE]

Research shows that we're each born with a given number of neurons that participate in an empathetic response & it's early life experience that shape how we act on it. https://t.co/OH185PI7DW @nytimes

"The more a toy “does,” the less space your child has to ”do.” You want the opposite if you want her learning while she’s playing (which she can’t help doing)." https://t.co/aypDsZGb53 #ECE #EarlyEducation #play #toys

[Claire Vallotton @CDVallotton]

Science of child development says teens need to sleep. And we need to listen! More sleep = better health, more regular school attendance, & more learning. #itstartsearly #letsstartnow

We breathe gender stereotypes without awareness, polluting our children's air, even when we want to do better. How do we become aware of the ways we perpetuate these stereotypes? Help!

[ZERO TO THREE @ZEROTOTHREE]

Children receive gendered messages even before they're born and many don't realize the influence these messages have on children. https://t.co/CZ8c4ruyO3
