Let’s do all we can to nurture a young developing brain as positively as possible from the beginning instead of creating the need to make changes later!

"Programs are now deciding if and how to reopen and considering remote-based preschool service options. They must first review and learn from their unpreparedness for remote support."

Remote schooling failed our preschoolers. We have to do better. / https://t.co/Eb3itHSLo3 / #preK #ECE #Early Ed

@DrTStaloch Another reason early learning and family education matter! A child's sense of self as an individual and in relationship to others begins long before influence of formal education. #ECFE #EarlyChildhood

Though there's nothing quite like the peacefulness of the ocean, practicing "Starfish Breathing" can help restore calm when you're feeling stressed. 🌊

#Empathy is a quality that must be taught & can be improved like riding a bike or learning a language. We must widen our success definition so it includes both sides of the report card & realize #empathy is not fluffy, but crucial. #wholechildsummit

If your little one is bursting at the seams with cabin fever, a good way to help them channel their feelings is by singing a silly song or drawing a picture, like Mister Rogers!

When we #KeepFamiliesStrong, we help prevent #childabuse, especially in times of crisis. That’s why we are standing with partners to ask Congress for emergency #ChildWelfareCOVID funding: https://t.co/oxPy15YK7T

One great TIP for #parents today:

When you're praising positive behavior (we all want more of that), be specific. Instead of "You're doing great," try something like, "Waiting until I was off the phone to ask for a snack was hard, & I really liked your patience."

These are extraordinary times & parents should not beat themselves up over children's screen time, Dr. Nusheen Ameenuddin @namd4kids tells @washingtonpost. During #COVID19, help kids find quality programs and enjoy video chats with friends and family.

People have said "Don't cry" to other people for years and years, and all it has ever meant is "I'm too uncomfortable when you show your feelings: Don't cry." #FredRogers Pic via @GoZenTweets
