Strengthening the
Foundation: Building Children Up
Using Their Strengths (Part 1) K-3
Session Code: T29 The State of Babies
Yearbook: Where Do Babies Stand
Session Code: T211
Featured
This training focuses on supporting
school age children’s social emotional
development through the use of the 40
Developmental Assets. A connection
will also be made between how ACEs
impacts children and their education,
as well as how the 40 Developmental
Assets can help support those
children. Participants will be able to
take away practical strategies
that they can use to support and help
their children build these skills. Where do babies across the nation
and in Ohio stand? The new State of
Babies Yearbook 2020, to be released
in April by ZERO TO THREE, provides
the answer. The state of America’s
babies is critical – it’s when we lay the
foundation for our future workforce.
When babies and families
have the supports they need, we
create innovators, thinkers, and
stronger communities. Our shared
vision of a prosperous future will be
realized only if there is a robust quality
of life for babies today.
