Elderly man ahead of me in grocery line, shaking his head in disbelief: "$20 for coffee. Yuban coffee is $20. We're done." If you voted for Trump, please explain why you think this is okay.

Early intervention is critical for newborn babies and parents. That’s changing under Trump.

• CDC’s newborn hearing program cut — states may lose follow-up care
• Genetic screening panel disbanded — fewer rare conditions caught early
• Maternal health survey scrapped — less data to improve outcomes

We urge the President and Congress to reconsider closing the Department of Education. The Dept. supports programs like Title I preschool and IDEA Part C for infants & toddlers with disabilities that help ensure children get the strong start they need to thrive. Read our statement: bit.ly/41HER2v

Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children and gives them to Russians to erase their heritage and demoralize Ukraine. Over 20,000 so far. And the US just stopped helping track these kids and likely deleted the database of all the research. Pure evil, right maga?

I'd want to know what they think, what they're hearing. Then I'd make it clear that this current government is against everything your family believes in (if that's true) but that your kids are safe and you will all be ok and make it through this. Also, that more than half the country agrees w/you ✊

Janet Lansbury @janetlansbury.bsky.social · Mar 1

Worth the read. Interesting thing is, though, that if you routinely engage with a baby AS IF she is conscious, she will prove that to you. Better than any experiment could. www.newscientist.com/article/mg26...

How studying babies' minds is prompting us to rethink consciousness

The debate over when consciousness arises has been revitalised by new tests of awareness in infants – raising the possibility that it emerges just before birth

We’re not letting it be the end. One thing positive about getting older (and no longer having very young kids) is that you know in your heart that whatever is happening is temporary. Kids change out of troubling behaviors. We change our patterns with them. Life around us changes. Nothing is “fixed.”
