This week we were asked to explore more web resources. In my search for sites I found an interesting site that I had not yet visited during the course. What really caught my attention was a link to the one of the initiatives of the organization called The New American Child. According to the website, the initiative is to build a broad base of knowledge about the well-being of children living in low income immigrant families in the U.S. The goal of the initiative is to discover how to best nurture and educate the children, and then connect research with policies and practices.
This week it was nice to locate this website because of their interest in "The New American Child". I continue to see the importance of following what research says about providing early services to immigrant children in low-income households.
It is great to see that research is being done all over the world to best take care of our children
ReplyDeleteInteresting article; it is good to see their strengths and assets of strong social competence and mental health recognized in the new American child. It benefits us greatly in knowing how to teach and provide for them.
