ExchangeEveryDay Past Issues

In Karen Miller's free article, "Caring for the Little Ones - Sleep Issues in Infant and Toddler Programs," she talks about sleep time in the infant room...

"More often than not, I fear, people really look at the clock and say, 'It's about time I put Jennifer down,' rather than really reading the baby's cues. One person reported that she and her staff had gotten so good at reading children's cues and only putting them to bed when they were truly tired that the babies learned to trust them and realize they would only be in their cribs when they wanted to sleep. Babies in this room would crawl over to the nap area and indicate they wanted to go to bed when they were tired."

What do babies need from caregivers? Creating safe environments that meet evolving need Learning to communicate with infants The importance of relationships What are the qualities that make an exceptional infant teacher? How do you know when an infant/toddler classroom is working? How do ratios and group sizes affect the quality of infant care? What does curriculum mean for infant care? These are not your typical training DVDs. No scripts. No staged events. Imagine sitting down for a one-on-one conversation with some of the leaders in the field of early care and education. Imagine them presenting at your next class, staff development, or training session. This is the concept behind Voices on DVD.
