- W232099714 abstract "Baby TALK unites parents, schools and communities into a trustworthy community system to support and nurture their very young children. Baby TALK has developed a model to cast a net over a community to identify and screen every family with a baby in order to identify needs and connect families with resources. Relationships with partner agencies provide layers of program support. Communities outside Decatur, Illinois are using this model with success. In the 1980's, educators became aware of the importance of the early years of life in supporting optimal human development (National Commission on Excellence in Education, 1983). With this growing awareness, many schools realized they would need to collaborate with communities to nurture young children. Decatur, Illinois is a mid-sized Midwestern city with a large proportion of low-income families; 67% of school children receive free or reduced hot lunch. In 1986, representatives of the school district, public library, public health department, two community hospitals, and an adult literacy program met to consider ways to provide greater support to parents during the first three years of their children's lives. To do so, they knew professionals working in education, health care and social services would need to build trusting relationships with parents in the early years of children's lives. This group developed Baby TALK, a program model for supporting parents and encouraging early literacy. Professional early childhood parent educators began visiting parents of newborns at local hospital obstetric units, learning about families' needs, encouraging them in the nurture of their babies, and supplying the parents with information about child development and books to start their babies' home libraries. Baby TALK soon established a mission which would drive the effort: to positively impact child development and nurture healthy parent-child relationships during the critical early years. This modest beginning evolved into a system through which every family giving birth in Decatur is met and supported based on individual needs. Baby TALK has something to offer parents from every demographic, from parents with advanced degrees to parents who have not yet graduated from high school, and also offers a number of programs which blend families from different cultures. Baby TALK has identified that this community-wide approach makes a difference for school readiness as well as promotes healthy parent-child relationships (Baby TALK Curriculum, 2009). Concepts Over 23 years of working with families, Baby TALK has developed a comprehensive curriculum for use in a variety of program settings and with diverse populations. This curriculum is based on Baby TALK'S Mission and is informed by a body of ideas forming the program's Critical Concepts: * Tell me about your baby. Establishing parents as experts and honoring all they already know about their children. * Going where families are. Designing programs to meet families at locations convenient to their needs. * Coming alongside. Joining families' systems rather than asking them to join the separate systems of the many agencies that serve them. * Building relationships. Approaching with empathy - on every level - opens doors. Putting professionals' agendas aside in favor of addressing parents' * Collaboration. Sharing resources with community partners to facilitate best results for children. * Systems building. Organizations strategizing to bring their services together for families in a way that serves them seamlessly and efficiently. * Parallel process. Recognizing that the ethics and strategies for supporting families also facilitate our work with professional collaborators. * Facing difficult issues. Being willing to have hard conversations with parents and with colleagues. * Becoming ever better. …" @default.
