| Providers Talking with Parents about Divorce | Talking with parents about divorce can be a delicate matter for a childcare provider. At the same time, it is important for you and the parents to have open communication about this topic, if possible. Working together, you and the parents can focus on the child's needs. You also can work together to help the children find coping skills that will work for them. Such open communication will help you figure out what your role should be with the child and with the custodial and the noncustodial parent. It also is important for you to follow the custody and legal decisions connected to the divorce. | Document |

| Put Away the Screens and Play Together! | Busy schedules leave little time for play. In addition, screen-based entertainment is a constant distraction. Children need to learn how to become engaged in simple games and outdoor play after the rapid-fire zap, zap, zap they get from screen activities. TRUCE (Teachers Resisting Unhealthy Children?s Entertainment), created a set of Family Play Plans to provide some simple ideas for seasonal family activities. All the suggested activities use inexpensive or free materials that are readily available such as sand, water, cardboard, bubbles, or string. Unlike specialized toys, open-ended materials like these offer endless opportunities for rich, creative, and on-going play. | Document |
