White House Conference on Children
July 28, 2009
When we love children, we acknowledge by our every action that they are not property, that they have rights - that we respect and uphold their rights.

"The White House Conference is a way for citizens nation-wide to become engaged in determining and recommending to the national government and their communities the best ways to improve the well-being of America's children.... State and local events would include experts on health, education, mental health, and other vital community resources. The events would convene tribal governments and leaders, local advocates and judges, as well as people most affected — families, children, and youth. All would participate in a national dialogue, develop recommendations, and commit to improving the lives of our most vulnerable children and families."
Exchange has packaged six of its practical management resources into a single “Manager’s Tool Kit” and is offering the entire set at a 33% discount — separately these resources would cost $175, but we are offering the entire Tool Kit for only $112. Resources in the kit include: - The Art of Leadership: Managing Early Childhood Organizations
- Managing Money: A Center Director’s Guidebook
- Beginnings Workshops Book #8 - Professionalism

This excellent initiative has the opportunity to - but does not - address the serious taboo in contemporary American society against addressing issues related to parents and parenting. My sister, as a college student in 1970, was a delegate to the White House Conference held that year. Now, as a mother and grandmother, she agrees that this next gathering should be a "White House Conference on Parents, Children and Youth." In failing to put parents first, we continue to miss the mark! However, if we put parents and parenting resources first, we will have a much better chance of achieving our common goal: increasing the well-being of our children and young people. This is an area where the U.S. is, to our national shame, last among developed countries.
