The organization that I selected is Zero To Three: National Center for Infants, Toddlers, and Families. The link is http://zttcfn.pub30.convio.net/child-development/from-baby-to-big-kid/. This organization is a national, nonprofit organization that informs, trains, and supports professionals, policymakers, and parents in their efforts to improve the lives of infants and toddlers. This organization's focus is to promote good health, strong families, positive early learning experiences, and development of infants and toddlers. One issue that caught my attention was parenting from a distance. I feel the importance of this issue is greatly overlooked. Parents who are separated from their children due to divorce, hospitalization, incarceration, foster care, military deloyment and other work related relocation are offered emotional support during these stressful circumstances. There is definitely a need for these types of support groups.
