Just how important is early childhood development? Put simply, it's vital―and as parents and as a country we are nonchalant about it at our own peril.
Great by Eight is a must read for parents of little ones, childcare providers, early education teachers, all advocates for children...and community and corporate leaders who want their communities to have excellent schools, a strong, stable, and reliable workforce, and a vibrant economy that attracts top businesses.
Using short real-life stories and humor as well as recent, exciting research findings, Allen offers an "easy read" that makes a compelling case for "The Remarkable Power of Early Childhood Development."
Perhaps even more remarkable, both Ivanka Trump and Hillary Clinton are on record as being supportive of quality care that can move children, families, and communities forward. If both Ivanka and Hillary are in the same boat, shouldn't we be too?
The message is clear: given the right formative environments early in life, most children will thrive and succeed as adults and be contributors to society. Drawing on nearly thirty years of experience, Dr. Rick Allen reveals the vital components of SAFE and SANE settings for children that later result in successful adult "whole person performance."
Going further, he clearly demonstrates how we can create those settings not only family by family but on a grand scale to benefit every one of us.
Great by Eight is a bold call for action, and we all have a role to play. It's not rocket science (but it is brain science), so hold on to your hats, read, and get ready to join a truly positive revolution.
