Healthy Beginnings is a resource to
help caregivers nurture the tremendous potential for learning and growth that
every child has… that every child is born with. Specifically designed for
caregivers of infants and toddlers from birth through age three, Healthy
Beginnings gives you knowledge and support around child care and child
development, while our Activity Planner provides you with fun, developmentally
appropriate activities that build young children’s skills and promote all kinds
of learning.
The Healthy Beginnings website
highlights the importance of socializing children and exposing children as
early as infancy to other culture group through “play dates”. Healthy
Beginnings reveals the benefits of parents and their infants participating in
and host a play date with other moms and babies. For example, parents should set
up some soft toys; establish a safe area on the floor for the babies to explore
together. Stay close by the action, using words and simple sign language to
talk about what is happening. The term “play date” is a demographic culturally
based term used to define the arranged time established between parents and/or caregivers
that children have with other children within their community.
An interesting factor shared on the
Health Beginnings website under the caregiver’s tab is the ideas the being
culturally sensitive and well diverse is understanding how other cultural
groups process/ learn in general.
