Well unfortunately, I haven’t
been able to get in contact with my persons.
Visiting the center of
Child Development provided by Harvard University has tons of important facts.
Their mission statement is:
“The mission
of the Center on the Developing Child is to drive science-based innovation that
achieves breakthrough outcomes for children facing adversity”.
Listed below are three videos that I watched to see what the different
programs had to offer and the description came from the website about the
programs.
FIND: Using Science to Coach Caregivers
At Children’s Home Society of Washington, social service providers are using
video clips of parents interacting with their young children to help the
parents identify their own strengths and learn which interactions best promote
healthy development.
This is a good way to keep parents and children connected with
interactions. Sometimes children become to grown and don’t want to interact
with their parents but if these resources are put out there for the children, they
would possible have a different outlook on interacting with their parents.
InBrief: Resilience Series
Reducing the effects of significant adversity on young children’s healthy
development is critical to the progress and prosperity of any society. The
science of resilience can help us understand why some children do well despite
serious adversity.
Pushing Toward Breakthroughs: Using Innovative Practice to Address Toxic
Stress
This installment of the multi-part series “Tackling Toxic
Stress” describes how a small but growing group of forward-thinking
social service practitioners are using the expanding scientific evidence about
the long-term, damaging effects of toxic stress
to try innovative approaches that target its root causes and could lead to
breakthroughs in the effectiveness of interventions—for both children and their
caregivers.
When we see the work Stress we often times run from it. But this video
shows effective ways of interventions/breakthroughs. When we are children or parents
are going through different things, a breakthrough is sometimes needed. But
while going through that breakthrough we must know how to conduct ourselves as
well as the situation.
