The Work with Families

The work with infants, toddlers, preschoolers and their families is intense. The real work begins in infancy.

The work we do in infancy brings us closer to families and there are always ideas about "the best" way to help a baby or how much to help a baby. There are so many ideas and beliefs that communication is vital. That is what this blog is about. It is an effort to bring professionals and para-professionals together to talk about the research completed in infant/family programs and to share ideas about the work that we do.

    thank you for sharing with us this fantastic resource of the OVP. the information in the page is great to share with parents and colleagues. It is absolutely true that parents are always worry preparing what their children need to get the best academic year;nevertheless,only few of them are worried about safety. As is stated in the Keep Children Safe, vigilance is the key to protect our children against violence. Parents need develop effective communication with their children and trust for their children inform what is happening in/and out of the school. Parents should be always alert of their children's behavior and personality changes to detect any problem that child is experiencing.
    Recently I watched a TV show presenting a case where a child in elementary school was suffering the bullying from a classmates group. His parents instead of protect and support their child pushed him to respond with aggression. The child feeling lonely and desperate suicide finally.
    I will share this resource with caregivers and parents to promote children safety.
