Issues and Trends Finale

            Throughout this course, my sense of awareness concerning issues and trends in the early childhood field has expanded immensely, not just locally, within the United States but internationally as well. I got connected with some very informative websites, mainly Global Children’s Initiative. They have very strong views on early childhood development in Haiti which are very similar to the issues and challenges we face in the US. Australia, shares breakthroughs they’ve had in child mental health and the importance of high-quality training for educators and professionals who work with young children. Locally and internationally children in crisis and conflict situations remain a concern for policymakers, administrators, educators, and families. Passionate individuals for the field of early childhood refuse to give up, cave in, or quit on being a strong voice for children. Change is continually being made in favor of children all across the nation and that is what make the small things important.
