I examined the website, http://www.earlychildhoodaustralia.org.au, which has many resources for parents and educators of young children. This website offers parent's a guide to children's behavior in a book called, "Children are people too" which examines current parenting methods which rewards good behavior and punishes bad behavior. According to the author, Louis Porter, this common method of parenting actually escalates behavior problems. I think it is wonderful that the Early Childhood Australia website offers book suggestions to parents which help them rethink current practices. The website offers information on many topics, including: behavior, diversity, health, social/emotional learning, leadership, ethics and much more. Early Childhood Australia is geared for early childhood professionals, staff and directors of child care centers, as well as parents, grandparents and caregivers. I found this website very well organized and very comprehensive, offering relevant advice to help support the healthy development of young children.
