The day Donaria was born was her mother Pauline's first day of sobriety. Pauline feared she was going to lose her baby, who was born on the spectrum for fetal alcohol disorders. As she sat in the hospital, Pauline said to herself, “I’m going to do everything it takes to keep her.”
Luckily for Donaria and Pauline, the Safe Babies Court Team in Pulaski County, Arkansas guided their foster care journey and helped make significant and, lasting positive changes that would affect their entire family.
Donaria now thrives under her mother’s confident parenting.
ZERO TO THREE’s Safe Babies Court Team approach engages teams of judges, attorneys, and early education and health care providers to change the lives of babies and families in 29 states across the country. The approach connects babies, toddlers, and their families with needed supports and services, with a goal of advancing health, well-being, and reaching a permanent home as soon as possible.
Donaria and Pauline’s success story isn’t an unusual one: Among 231 children with cases managed and closed by Safe Babies Court Teams between April 2015 and May 2018, 83.7% reached a permanent home within 12 months, double the national standard expectation established by the Children's Bureau of 40.5%!
While every baby’s potential is unlimited, the window of time to provide that child with the strongest foundation for success is not. Simply put, Babies Can’t Wait— and with our Safe Babies Court Team approach, we help ensure that infants and toddlers reach their “forever” homes as quickly as possible.
Your support of ZERO TO THREE enables us to grow and expand our programs like Safe Babies Court Teams—helping to create more success stories like Donaria and Pauline’s. Donate: go.zerotothree.org/giving

😴 We've all been there—it's well past nap-time but they just can't seem to settle down! One possible reason for the fuss? They're over-tired.
Next time, look for your baby’s “sleep signals” that show when they are tired. Seize the moment before the “sleepy window” has passed. The first signs of tiredness—eye rubbing, yawning, slowing down—should signal a transition to the bedtime routine.

Parenting is a powerful social determinant of health. Lucky children have parents who engage in parenting behaviors and practices generally recognized as supporting their healthy development. Unlucky children have parents who neglect and abuse them. These children will face multiple physical and mental health challenges. This variability in the quality of parenting is unacceptable.
One innovative and simple thing everyone can do to elevate and level the quality of parenting in communities is to put a parenting tips bumper sticker on their vehicle. Just driving your car will teach thousands of people something important about parenting. There are fifty-one different parenting messages to choose from and organizations can order sets of the stickers for table or counter displays.

#Toddlers are people too. Why are they stinkers sometimes?
In my observations, toddlers "misbehave" at times because they are developmentally in a place where they are beginning to form opinions and they are learning how to express these opinions. These #opinions may be different than ours, or expressed at inconvenient times for the parent, so we label it as misbehaving.
Take, for example, the toddler that throws a piece of food on the ground or refuses to eat some food offered to them. They are exercising their #willpower. This is developmentally understandable. And yet, parents, myself included, think that I know best and are tempted to force THEIR opinion (or the food) on the child. There are many strategies to expose new foods to your child or make sure your #child is getting the right amount of nutrition. Aside from that, I think it is important to listen to your toddler.
#Support, at appropriate times, their right to choose, so that when you need to have them obey, or follow your advice (bedtime, for instance) they are more satisfied that you understand them and listen. Being allowed to form opinions and being heard will build #confidence and #contentedness in your #toddler. #supportsmallbusinesses
