Hi Lynnette-
ReplyDeleteThank you for always being so open and sharing how you feel on this Early Childhood journey we are on with Walden. I disagree about you sounding like a broken record. Concerning inclusion, there is always something else to learn, a different perspective to ponder and countless ways to empower children, families and the professionals serving them to grow. As I know your passion, I know you will not lose steam in your drive to promote positive social change for those with varying and unique abilities. When we, as advocates feel overwhelmed with the plethora of change we hope to facilitate, I agree, sometimes the best thing we can do is simply, breathe. Thanks for your perspectives and as always, I enjoy learning with you.

We all have a long ways to go to make a difference by advocating but research can be our best friend in making the journey to being a successful advocator. As child advocates we should be involved in children's health care also. Pediatric providers are working together to improve access to health coverage for the children in early years of life which includes pregnant woman. Each child has unique health needs and the health legislation reform ensures that we are protecting children's coverage of health insurance.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with sounding like a broken record. I, too, have thought the same the past 2 weeks. Every time I go to finish an assignment I continuously think "will the teacher get upset because I keep saying the same thing over?". But this is what I think- think about a broken record for a second. When it becomes "broken" it stays on one song right? Well, we keep hearing that song (parts of it normally) and guess what happens? It stays on our minds. We may not want the song stuck in our heads but it stays there. So, if you think about it, the more you sound like a broken record, the more people will remember your voice and what you have to say.
ReplyDeleteJessica,
DeleteAmazing response and exactly what I needed to hear, thank you. Your message was heard loud and clear and I must say, your analogy is one I will use from this day forward. Simply brilliant!
