Note: PACEs Connection is in dire financial straits. We are asking for support, from you, our 57,586 members, to help cover the loss of foundation funding that was promised and did not come through. Pay and hours have been cut for our staff—most of us will be laid off for the month of December. Another grant will pick up in January, but we will still be underfunded. Since sounding the alarm this summer, we’ve raised about $26,000 . Thankfully, about 25% of new donors are making monthly...

Unfortunately, this problem is now very common. Therefore, you need to control your children in order to avoid unpleasant situations. I always control the location of my children and People Search Engine helps me with this. I think this is the best way to find the person I need. Especially when it comes to security.

Because of a collaboration with Columbia University and UW-Madison, we have answers to these questions. By Peter Peter Pecora, Casey Family Programs, March 17, 2023 - Overview The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) recently released a “ roadmap ” to reduce child poverty by as much as half through the implementation of a series of social policy packages. The aim of this study was to simulate the reductions in Child Protective Services (CPS) involvement and foster care placements that are...

Great to see more evidence that reducing poverty helps people. (And therefore helps us all while saving money in the long term.) The NAS report includes poverty reduction packages that have "work" requirements and others that do not have "work" requirements. Our grassroots nonprofit organization, Family and Home Network, has been thinking about family policy issues for decades (and working closely with allies). We call for the adoption of basic principles of inclusion in family policymaking.

Two recent research reports suggest that anti-poverty policies can help prevent child abuse and neglect. These policies include providing economic support to families challenged by job loss and more generous state policies that reduce food insufficiency.

The brain doesn’t fully develop until about the age of 25. This fact is sometimes quite surprising and eye opening to most adults. It can also be somewhat overwhelming for new parents and professionals who are interacting with babies and young children every day, to contemplate. It is essential to realize however, that the greatest time of development occurs in the years prior to kindergarten.

Emotion has an enormous impact on imprinting memory in our brains. I had an experience when I was 6 years old that included emotion and I have the memory of it all of these many years later. It was a 6 year old birthday sleepover party. There were 7 girls invited that lived near each other and played together most days. A girl new to the neighborhood was invited only due to the requirement of the birthday girl’s mother. I was also invited. I lived a block away but did play with these girls...
