Research around the world



On the website Early Childhood Australia a Voice for Young Children http://www.earlychildhoodaustralia.org.au/our-work/aedc-project/ the most prevalent topic is the Australian Early Childhood Development Census Program.  They discuss bringing long-term benefits to children and their families.  Some of the hot topics discussed is separation anxiety and transition into school.  They had articles based on these hot topics in order for parents to gain insight on topics such as these.  The website also includes many resources that could be purchased by parents and/or teachers.  
The website offers webinars that are directed for teachers.  One webinar that was posted was about children’s imaginative play and how to support this type of play without dominating the play or redirecting the play.

  1. Tisha,
    I love the pictures you included with your post; I always like to see children’s smiling faces. I can relate to the topic of separation anxiety and transition to school because I deal with this issue every year at the beginning of school. I think it is a great idea to have articles for parents to learn how to cope with such issues; I can use an article like that myself. I could give parents the article at the parent orientation before school starts and I’m sure it would make a big difference. I also like that the website offers webinars for teachers; I might take one of the webinars in the future about children and play because this topic is a passion of mine.
