Parent Portal Available
Early Childhood CARES is implementing a new service that will allow parents to electronically sign and receive documents.
Your child’s service coordinator will be asking if you would like to set up a Parent Portal account. If so, they will walk you through the steps to set it up.
Benefits of using the Parent Portal include:
· Easy - to sign and return signature pages for remote meetings
· Accessible – documents are available 24 hours/7 days a week
· Consolidated – all documents remain in the Parent Portal
· Mobile friendly – document view is easy to read on a cell phone or other electronic device
· Environmentally friendly – no paper documents to maintain
Talking to Young Children About Race and Racism
Talking with children about diversity, equity and inclusion is an important part of anti-racism work. PBS Parents has a wonderful webpage full of resources for families; videos, articles, children’s book suggestions, printable activities and links to more resources.
Safety Outside a Concern?
With the Fall weather a natural incentive to get outside with children, some parents are struggling with the problem that “their child loves to run outside and leaves the play area boundaries”.
A resource called the Family Routine Guide Snapshot offers ways to prevent this challenging behavior and what to do when it happens. Consider using this resource to prepare both you and your child for a more positive experience outdoors. You may also find it useful to share with your Early Childhood CARES service provider and discuss ways to tailor the strategies for your specific child(ren).
Then, when you return back inside and want to nourish yourself to keep doing all the awesome parenting that you do each and every day, consider exploring these 5 Free Apps. They may just hit the spot at the end of a long day and refresh you for the next one.
Enjoy!!!
