    356: Feelings are Facts with Cindy and Alison
    Has anyone ever said to you, "That's a feeling, not a fact." Exactly how dismissive does that feel? Of course it does, because your feelings and the emotions of children are a fact!

    354: Infants, Toddlers and DAP with Cindy and Alison
    For years, we have done activities with infants and toddlers that were pushed down from what older children are ready to do. It is time we advocate for infants, toddlers, and the staff who work with them by insisting that our activities and interactions are developmentally appropriate for this age group. Join Cindy and Alison for a discussion about what we've done and what is actually how we should work with infants and toddlers.
