Mum4parents
Mum4parents is a desire to be when I grow by analyzing the data of my research for a PhD, I realized that most of the parents has a limited knowledge related to new technologies and feels inadequate in respect of their children.

Then I dreamed that a blog could become a point of reference, a space for dialogue, a place of shared reflections, a blog in which to provide the wealth of knowledge and skills that I was gradually building up.

MYI Early Childhood Reflections
I see this blog as a dwelling place for my enthusiasm about "all things early childhood." I teach 3 year olds and I love it. I also mentor new early childhood teachers.

I enjoy exploring why I do things a certain way - the "theory" behind the "practice." I'd love for this blog to be a soft place for teachers, parents, and caregivers to land, to consider a variety of educational topics, and perhaps help us understand little ones a little better.

Vanessa Van Petten

Vanessa Van Petten, USA, All Sectors

I am 22 and wrote a parenting book from a teen's perspective when I was in High School in Los Angeles, CA. I graduated from Emory University in May 2007. I do speaking events and radio shows across the country for teachers and parents about what life is really like from the net-generation view.

On Teens Today with Vanessa Van Petten
Vanessa gives real advice from teen's about how parents and adults can approach the net-generation and speak to them on their level. She honestly explores how teens today deal with everything from cheating on tests, marijuana, curfews, cyberbullying and much more.

Her goal is to give adults a small window into the lives of teens so they can develop better relationships and we can have happier young adults.
