Can't be at #COP27 either? I'm going to use my time this week to read Frederica Perera's new book on "Children's Health and the Peril of Climate Change" @CCCEHColumbia to learn about the facts & ideas for solutions. Thanks to @capita_social for hosting this interview about it!

As wildfires, hurricanes, and other climate disasters increase, we must pay attention to the unique needs of pregnant people and infants during, and after, these events. Love this idea of looking to the role midwives can play. @EarlyLearnNatn earlylearningnation.com/2022…

I had just been wondering if if someone had created this! New resource from @ChildrenNature & @leagueofcities @ federal funding opportunities for connecting children to nature. Wondering now who in Massachusetts might be working on applications? childrenandnature.org/resour…

When pediatrician Jack Shonkoff speaks, the #ECE field listens. He’s one of the researchers who brought about the brain science revolution in understanding #ChildDevelopment. Now he’s calling for Early Childhood Development “2.0”. More in @EarlyLearnNatn: earlylearningnation.com/2022…

Always learn something from reading the work of @FrameWorksInst & @natkendallt. Love the insightful breakdowns of current narratives and reminder of why anchoring on common values matters when communicating for social change. comnetwork.org/A5ELC

“We deserve more than a hope and prayer that the child care sector will still be standing when our employers call us back to our places of work. Covid-19 has made clear that child care is a collective necessity.” nytimes.com/2020/05/20/opini…

Love this. 20 questions to ask instead of "how are you doing right now?" Asking better questions enables us to connect and listen to each other more deeply. Going to try "what’s giving you hope right now?" at my next team meeting @elizabethw723 @ideas42 @QuartzAtWork @colehoover
