In a recent Advancing Kids blog post, Help Me Grow National Center founding director Paul Dworkin, M.D., considers the challenges ahead for early childhood system-builders, providers, and advocates — and how we can best respond.
Dr. Dworkin writes, “We must be vigilant in protesting devastating cutbacks that will do harm to children and families. However, I also believe that we must pledge to best continue our forward movement, going beyond the role of vocal opposition to determine how to best build on progress and common assumptions. Through such strategies as strategic framing, we may even accelerate our considerable progress.”
