Our Initiatives
1. Raise awareness about the importance of:
-
Caregiver-child interaction
-
Especially in the first year of life
-
Importantly for children missing milestones
-
-
Screen time adverse effects and benefits of no exposure in early life and limits thereafter
-
Slogan: “First do no harm”
-
Screens act like a drug on children’s brains
-
-
Rapid intervention for children missing milestones
-
Slogan : “If you see it, say it, take action”
-
It may change the child’s life
-
We want to share what we have learned! Our boys are doing amazingly well.
2. Build the evidence base:
● Track and report important new publications
● Facilitate needed research (via donors, researchers)
● Enroll children in studies
-
Children missing milestones with screen time removal combined with parent training
-
Children at risk of autism with early intervention from birth
Our second son had early intervention from birth! We want to show that it and more...
can really improve lives.
