Parenting Resources

Studies have shown upwards of 65% of children aren't getting the necessary amount of sleep. Tuck Sleep created some informative guides to help parents combat this. 

Their guides cover everything from comprehensive, expert sleep hygiene and parenting information for newborns through teenage years to the best parenting resources available on the web covering everything from sleep disorders to nutrition to help for women and families during and after pregnancy to gain an increased understanding of the often confusing science behind sleep.

​When should my baby see a doctor? How does bullying affect my preteen? What medications are potentially dangerous for children? These are common questions parents have as their children reach different stages of their growth and development. Some children may face obesity, diabetes or hearing loss; others may require glasses or an EpiPen for allergies. You can promote children’s well-being by learning how their bodies grow, what diseases or disorders to look out for and how to identify risky products.

Early Intervention

The Infant & Toddler Connection of Virginia provides early intervention supports and services to infants and toddlers from birth through age two who are not developing as expected or who have a medical condition that can delay normal development. Early intervention supports and services focus on increasing the child's participation in family and community activities that are important to the family. In addition, supports and services focus on helping parents and other caregivers know how to find ways to help the child learn during everyday activities. These supports and services are available for all eligible children and their families regardless of the family's ability to pay. .
The National Association for the Education of Young Children offers research-based resources, tips, and ideas for families- from child development to reading, writing, music, math and more.
ELLO has the overarching goal of increasing the number of quality, language-rich interactions between caregivers and young children. ELLO connects with home routines and community spaces routinely accessed by families such as the grocery store, laundry mats, public transit, libraries, and outdoor spaces. Resources encourage caregivers to talk with their children and are thematically tailored to familiar routines and community settings. Intentionally embedding opportunities for conversations throughout everyday routines can empower all caregivers to realize how much they have the ability to benefit their child’s life through something completely free, talking!
