Web Resources
For Week one's assignment, I chose the Zero to Three organization. The link to their site is www.zerotothree.org. The organization's main focus is to provide resources for parents, policymakers, and early childhood professional's, and to focus on the pormotion of healthy development in infants and toddlers. I am still waiting on a newsletter from the website, however I did sign up for a journal, and I have received an email journal article. The article discusses the effects of Technology and Media on infants and toddlers. There are various opinions about whether toddlers should be allowed to watch television. Research shows that for children under the age of two, background tv exposure results in negative cognitive and language outcomes. This website is very beneficial for early childhood professionals and parents to use as a resource for young children.
I love that this has information for parents! Parents sometimes need more education than the children in what is best for the child. That is neat that you can subscribe to an article! I'll have to see if I can do that on mine! I have looked at this website for research several times and it seems very informative. I enjoyed reading your blog post and can't wait to learn more about this website!
