Advocacy for Children Families
I am excited to be taking this course so that I can learn the tools and practices in becoming a more effective advocate for children and families. I currently work as a parent educator with a home visiting program and have completely fallen in love with my work. I am lucky to work with a variety of diverse families where I get to educate them on child development and assist them in their family well-being. I cannot begin to explain how many stories I am inspired by.The experiences that the families share only increase my desire to advocate for their needs and desires for a safer, healthier, and more child friendly community. I hope this course will improve my abilities as an early childhood professional to help speak up and give voice to the issues and concerns for the children and families in my community.

Terri,
ReplyDeleteI really like your blog post. You and I share the same desire to create change for children and families. We both wish to make life better for them so that they can have a healthy and happy life. There is so much work to be done and it seems like with so little time and resources. Just like you I also desire to learn as much as I can so that I can help the children and families that I work with even more. Good luck with the course and in your efforts to make a lasting difference.
Terri,
ReplyDeleteI think we all share the same desire. As a preschool teacher I see so much that can be worked on and changed and hope through learning along with you and learning through the material that I can learn more to become more effective.
