Here are some of my favorite free resources that I share with the families that I work with.
From the Everything I need to Know, I Learned from Watching Sesame Street department, this site has apps, videos, and activities for parents and kids to help through challenging things like having an incarcerated parent, dealing with divorce, bullying, or just going to bed. Available in English and Spanish.

From a partnership of the Bezos Family Foundation, Harvard University's Center for the Developing Child, University of Washington and NYU, this site and apps have activities for parents to do with their infants and toddlers to build their brains. Again, encouraging parents to just glance at their phone for an idea and then engage in a real-life activity with their child:
We have a pilot study going on in Seattle right now:

Love Talk Play is a similar idea, with lovely handouts. Thrive by Five is our local organization who put this together. I just looked and realized that I am lucky to live in Washington where I can order their handouts free of charge, it looks like you can download and print them (English, Spanish, Russian, Somali, Vietnamese, and Chinese), and that they are working to make them available to families in other states.

text4baby allows expecting and new parents to receive free text messages about the health of pregnancy, breastfeeding, and infant development. Parents put in their baby's due date (or birth date) and the messages match the timing of where the family is in the process.
I hope that you find these helpful.
