Zero to Three Play Resources
http://www.zerotothree.org/child-development/play/tips-and-tools-play.html
To everyone on ACES in Pediatrics --Education, Social Work, Medicine, Law and I apologize to all those I left out:
I like Resources especially free ones. Zero to Three is my favorite Site. For most of you who are younger and if you are a pediatrician -- You probably don't know that the AAP had on it's book site, a series from AAP and Zero to Three called Healthy Minds (funded also by Gerber)... You purchased these as a one time set... I got mine in 2002.... and you could copy freely and distribute to parents....I love these handouts and still use them today... I think they are timeless...
Since then the Zero to Three has many more resources. A favorite of mine is the "Lets Play" App for cell phones (hoping it keeps the kids away from cell phones). The app does do just that. It gives parents ideas of play activities for their young children when they are engaged in everyday activities.... Like cooking or cleaning or bath time. These activities are about being together while the parent can still get other things done.... They also promote early child brain development. Below I copied the play link for Zero to Three.... But would like to have a discussion.... What resources do you share with parents???... I have many more resources I will be adding that I use .... but here is the start of a great sharing experience- Please "share away" ....
