This week’s post contains a short but powerful video from our friends at Talking is Teaching, a project of the Clinton Foundation’s Too Small to Fail. Small Children Have Big Feelings (Niños Pequeños Tienen Grandes Emociones) points out that “there’s an emotion behind every action,” a message parents and providers alike need to be reminded of. The page also links to “Behind Every Child Behavior, There is a Feeling” (now you can get there directly!) along with other videos on setting limits and giving yourself grace. Talking is Teaching is chockful of valuable resources, so once you see the initial video, click around. You’ll find all kinds of treasures.
The ICC-Recommended Early Start Personnel Manual (ESPM) describes core knowledge and role-specific competencies needed for early intervention service provision, incorporating current research and evidence in the field of early intervention. To access the ESPM, click here.
