There are many programs, communities, and states that are making wonderful progress toward better health. They understand that is takes a long time to create a stable long-term funding system in order to reach their goals. A long time ago, we made the courageous decision to invest in public education. Now our goal is to invest our time and efforts into early childhood education to reach the ultimate goal of providing high-quality programs for all young children. Let’s defeat malnutrition in our early childhood education systems!

We need to stop accepting short-term efforts that do not support the long-term health of our field.

Over coming malnutrition
It will take a long time to get healthy again. Start off slow, eat a healthy maintained diet, and increase your exercise habits slowly. The same goes with funding our early childhood classrooms and the field, short-term support does not allow us to improve the daily practice, we need a long-term support program in order to make this field great and what it used to be again.

Exercise shouldn’t be something we are constantly trying to fit into our schedule. Exercise should be a regular routine in our lives, like free play in classrooms or staff meetings. You don’t need a source of funding to free up a few staff to reflect on their most recent training - we need a stable funding to hire permanent additional staff so everyone gets the reflection and planning time they need in this field.

2 key ideas to be healthy:
1. Eat a well balanced diet
2. Get plenty of exercise
Comparing those two ideas to our early childhood education workforce, we could start with a diet that includes...
1. Good compensation
2. Appropriate education/training
3. A supportive work enviornment
In support of this, we need a regular exercise program that includes...
1. An appropriate amount of time for planning and reflection
2. Opportunities and support to transfer theory into practice
3. Peer-to-peer thinking

The issue is the fact that we never received adequate funding to achieve our goals.

Prolonged Financial Malnutrition
It’s an amazing time to be in the early childhood field, there’s so many opportunities for different children and their educators. On the outside, the early childhood field seems to be making great progress. There’s new funding opportunities, new research on child development, but yet we still seem to be struggling financially... Why?

Conclusion
Pinterest provides many educators with an abundant amount of different activities and learning experiences the children can conduct in the classroom. But remember: keep it short and sweet. :)

ADVOID doing this on Pinterest...
1. Pinning more than you’ll ever see
2. People care more about what you’re doing than what you intend to do ‘someday’ so limit yourself.
3. Pinning cute crafts and activities that are product-focused and have little value for children’s learning.
4. Using it without trying it out first; be sure you’ve done the activity before you present it in the classroom
5. Never attach a child’s name to the pin

When you’re selecting your followers and which boards to follow, search for like-minded early childhood professionals and educators. Their pins will be more than just interesting and fun to look at, it will be useful to you as well.

“Best Play Dough Recipe EVER!” - claims every ‘pinner’ on Pinterest. Take into consideration that many of these articles are not up to take and haven’t even been tried or tested. As the pinner, do your own research before trying these activities with your little ones.

Quality over Quantity...
Pinterest allows teachers to store their ideas of lesson plans and activities in an organized matter. Although, pinning too many ideas can become long and extremely stressful. Pinning too many activities can cause a burden on the user and you’ll never actually try them.
The quality of a pin should be one of the top priorities before actually ‘pinning’ it to your board. Just because you’ve ‘pinned’ it doesn’t mean it’s actually good or you’ll actually use it.
