FAMILY RESOURCE

Safe Sleep Resources

In the state in which I live, deaths related to unsafe sleeping environments are the third leading cause of infant mortality and the leading cause in the post-neonatal period (months 2-12). This suggests that basic information about safe sleeping practices can’t be shared often or widely enough. Consider with whom you could share the resources of this website, a
comic-style safe sleep flyer in multiple languages and a safe sleep booklet in English and Spanish.
FAMILY RESOURCE

Reading A Baby's Cues

“If I only knew what you wanted, I’d do it.” It’s the reaction of most every parent or caregiver, everywhere, as they try to figure out why a baby is crying. Child development expert Rebecca Parlakian shares a beginner’s guide to reading your baby’s cues in this online article.
FAMILY RESOURCE

Benefits of Sign Language for All Infants

Cognitive developmental scientists from Northwestern University discovered that observing American Sign Language (ASL) promotes cognition in hearing infants who had never been exposed to a signed language. For 3- and 4-month-old infants, sign language offers infants a cognitive advantage in forming object categories.
FAMILY RESOURCE

Early Math Resources

While these resources were created to boost the positive math attitudes and knowledge of early childhood professionals, they offer great ideas for anyone. Click on a topic, like All About Shapes, to learn about why knowledge of shapes is important, and how to help children learn about shapes. Suggestions are organized by age (i.e., babies and toddlers, preschoolers and older children) and all materials are available in Spanish.
