A Celebration of Progress and a Call to Action
... Tulsa Community Conference on Early Childhood Development
Mayor LaFortune: "It's clear that the research findings
sound a loud call to action on behalf of young children. Here in the Tulsa
area and around the state of Oklahoma, many organizations and individuals have
answered the call, building momentum for Tulsa's growing community commitment
to assuring that all young children will enter school healthy and ready to
succeed."
(Design: HKH Advertising. Information prepared by the
conference committee and edited by the Community Service Council - Phil
Dessauer, Executive Director; Sharon Clark, Marketing/Communications
Director)
Tulsa's Young Children ... Facts at your Fingertips
In introducing this material, Mayor LaFortune said:
"When you hear those statistics about children living in poverty in this city
in which we live, it has to be compelling. And if it's not compelling, you
don't have a heart, period."
(Information prepared by the Community Service Council -
Melanie Poulter, Data Coordinator)
You Can Help ... Volunteer Today!
Mayor LaFortune: "There are thousands of volunteers
throughout the Tulsa area who are already working hard every day in the
interests of young children. But many more are needed. So please help spread
the word to interested individuals and groups and encourage them to get
involved in early childhood development and early childhood education efforts.
If they're interested, they can contact the Tulsa Volunteer Center to find out
how they can get involved, and be matched with volunteer jobs. There are
hundreds of volunteer opportunities available in Tulsa’s community non-profit
agencies and organizations."

It's time to change how we view a child's growth. Do you
know all the ways you should measure your child’s growth? We naturally
think of height and weight, but from birth to 5 years, your child should
reach milestones in how he plays, learns, speaks and acts. A delay in
any of these areas could be a sign of a developmental problem, even
autism. The good news is, the earlier its recognized the more you can do
to help your child reach her full potential. Early recognition of
developmental disabilities such as autism is key for parents and
providers. CDC realized the impact on families and invested in a
campaign to help parents measure their children's progress by monitoring
how they play, learn, speak and act. What is child development? A
child's growth is more than just physical. Children grow, develop, and
learn throughout their lives, starting at birth. A child's development
can be followed by how they play, learn, speak, and behave. What is a
developmental delay? Will my child just grow out of it? Skills such as
taking a first step, smiling for the first time, and waving "bye bye"
are called developmental milestones. Children reach milestones in
playing, learning, speaking, behaving, and moving (crawling, walking,
etc.). A developmental delay is when your child does not reach these
milestones at the same time as other children the same age. If your
child is not developing properly, there are things you can do that may
help. Most of the time, a developmental problem is not something your
child will "grow out of" on his or her own. But with help, your child
could reach his or her full potential! What is developmental screening?
Doctors and nurses use developmental screening to tell if children are
learning basic skills when they should, or if they might have problems.
Your child's doctor may ask you questions or talk and play with your
child during an exam to see how he or she learns, speaks, behaves, and
moves. Since there is no lab or blood test to tell if your child may
have a delay, the developmental screening will help tell if your child
needs to see a specialist. Why is developmental screening important?
When a developmental delay is not recognized early, children must wait
to get the help they need. This can make it hard for them to learn when
they start school. In the United States, 17 percent of children have a
developmental or behavioral disability such as autism, intellectual
disability (also known as mental retardation), or
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In addition, many
children have delays in language or other areas. In addition, many
children have delays in language or other areas. But, less than half of
children with problems are identified before starting school. During
this time, the child could have received help for these problems and may
even have entered school more ready to learn. Talk to your child's
doctor or nurse if you have concerns about how your child is developing.
If you or your doctor think there could be a problem, you can take your
child to see a developmental pediatrician or other specialist, and you
can contact your local early intervention agency (for children under 3)
or public school (for children 3 and older) for help. To find out who to
speak to in your area, you can contact the National Dissemination Center
for Children with Disabilities by logging on to
http://www.nichcy.org/ or calling 1-800-695-0285. In addition, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has links to
information for families at
www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/resources/familyresources.htm. If there is a
problem, it is very important to get your child help as soon as
possible.
Childhood Developmental Milestones
Babies develop at their own pace, so it's impossible to tell exactly
when your child will learn a given skill. Knowing about
developmental milestones will give you a general idea of the changes you can expect.
Positive Parenting Tips
The early years of a child's life are crucial for cognitive, social and
emotional development. Therefore, it is important that we take every
step necessary to ensure that children grow up in environments where
their social, emotional and educational needs are met. Cost to society
of less than optimal development are enormous and far-reaching. Children
who grow up in environments where their developmental needs are not met
are at an increased risk for compromised health and safety, and learning
and developmental delays. Failure to invest time and resources during
children’s early years may have long term effects on the foster care,
health care, and education systems. Therefore, it is in the public's
interest to ensure that children develop in safe, loving, and secure
environments. (CDC, Act Early,
http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/child/default.htm)

BrainWonders:
Helping Babies Grow and Develop
BrainWonders: Helping
Babies Grow and Develop is a website created by Boston University
School of Medicine,
Erikson Institute
and
ZERO TO THREE.
"This site is designed to provide
parents, caregivers and pediatric and family clinicians with meaningful
information about early brain development and the relationships between
babies and their parents and caregivers that support intellectual and
social-emotional development. New research in neuroscience has validated the
passionate conviction that parents of very young children and professionals
have long felt - that the experiences children have in the first three years
of life are crucial to their healthy physical, emotional and intellectual
development. While it is certainly true that the brain continues to develop
well beyond the first years of life, this site focuses on birth to age three
as a time when parents, child care providers and pediatric/family clinicians
can provide rich input to the developing brain. Rich environments and
nurturing relationships between babies and adults support growth in all
aspects of the baby's development.Yet this new knowledge has not been
readily available to those most able to apply it -
parents,
caregivers,
and pediatric and family clinicians. BrainWonders provides this knowledge in
formats that meet the needs of each of these three distinct yet
inter-connected audiences so that everyone who relates to babies and
toddlers will have information about how to support healthy development."
This site features basic
research-based information about early brain development and caregiving
implications, by age group -- in versions for
parents,
child care
providers, and
pediatricians and family clinicians. Also -

FAQs, brain
quiz, glossary of brain terms, and
