this is d.w. news live from berlin killed in the line of duty defending the u.s. capitol police pay tribute to the officer who died in friday's car running attack at a security checkpoint u.s. spy agencies have warned of ongoing threats to the government complex also on the show taiwan mourns its worst real disaster in decades at least 51 people died when a train packed with holiday travelers slammed into a truck prosecutors believe negligence was behind the tragedy.

omarion evanston welcome in washington d.c. police are paying tribute to an officer who was killed friday at the u.s. capitol the attack comes less than 3 months after a mob assault at the same location u.s. president joe biden said in a statement that he and his wife were saddened to learn of the incident and they expressed their condolences to the victim's family. the u.s. capitol in mourning the hives of american democracy once more the scene of a deadly attack. police vehicles form to precession to a school the body of one of their own. william evans known as billy had served in the capitol police force for 18 years he died of his injuries after

a car rammed into him and a colleague guarding a barricade the other officer is reported to be in a stable condition. police say they shot the driver after he emerged from the vehicle and started lunging at them with a knife he later died at a hospital. it's not clear whether he intended to attack people inside the capitol lawmakers were absent due to the easter recess but other stuff as well there they were told to stay away from windows as authorities luxe time the complex and mobilized troops. it was one of the most terrifying things i've ever seen it was just juice and completely blind with our national guard members face masks and automatic weapons. investigators are now trying to discern a motive that say they do not suspect a terror link none the less the attack on the schools that the capital remains

a potential target for violence some extra fencing around the complex was recently moved almost 3 months after supporters of former president donald trump stormed the building a police officer died in the riot and another committed suicide days later this is been an extremely difficult time for us capitol police after the events of january 6 and now they events that have occurred here today so that you can all u.s. capitol police family and your thoughts and prayers president joe biden said in a statement he was heartbroken and ordered that flags at the white house to be flown at tough stuff. well for more on this story let's bring in a reporter william glue craft so william have any further details emerged about the suspect and a possible motive it's very very sketchy picture right now investigators are only

at the beginning of looking into what happened to this man was there currently working on getting warrants to look more into his online presence what's come out of his facebook profile at least what's been reported is that he seemed to suffer from a lot of hardships maybe even mental illness i said he was reportedly without a job and this maybe has some contributing factor into what led him. allegedly to ram this barricade yesterday he's a 25 year old man from the state of indiana so there's still a lot to look into but so far investigators are saying this was not an act of terrorism it was very likely a lone wolf situation and there is no ongoing threat anymore at the capitol. and yet washington d.c. one was of course already on i mean after all the storming of the capitol by the insurrection has just happened in january now we're looking ahead are people really concerned that the capitol building is becoming more of

a target for these types of a grievance or even disturbed individuals i mean this is always a threat and a concern remember the capitol is an obvious target for anyone with a grievance against the government whether it's a lone wolf or a more organized attack like what we saw on january 6th of this year. there's been many instances across the decades and even centuries of small and lone wolf attacks in the capital even in 1908 there was a gunman who stormed the capitol and killed 2 capitol police officers as he tried to make his way to then republican majority whip office so these things do happen at the capitol and other government installations on both federal and state all around the country there is more focus though on the threat specifically of domestic terrorism and the abilities of the capitol police to have the staffing in the resources and the intelligence agencies the intelligence the resources to to be able to handle new threats identified threats especially lone wolfs like what we

saw yesterday which can be very very hard to detect due to the use william blue cross thanks so much we appreciate it. to where a court has allowed the release on bail of the construction manager allegedly responsible for friday's deadly train crash at least 51 people were killed and more than 140 were injured when a train smashed into a construction truck that had slid onto the tracks it happened at the start of taiwan's 4 day too sweeping holiday which is when families often return to their hometowns. the start of a long recovery process cranes have now cleared to rig carriages from friday's crash site but it will take about a week to clear 6 others still mangled inside the tunnel where rescuers expect to find more bodies. the front 1st carriage had the most serious injuries and

greatest number of deaths even zone the carriage was open and bodies what hylda on top of each other. the train was packed with nearly $500.00 people many of whom were crammed into the aisles without a seat just as it entered a tunnel the train slammed into a truck tearing the front carriages apart authorities allege the truck slid onto the tracks from a nearby construction site after the break was not engaged prosecutors sold to detain the construction site manager who was later released on bail meanwhile taiwan's president visited dozens of survivors being treated in hospital. we heard the sound of a collision as we heard the collision over passengers on the train with turned upside down. relatives of the victims visited the crash site on saturday to hold ceremonies for their loved ones and investigation into the catastrophe is ongoing.

german president from vulture steinmeier is said to make a rare appeal to the nation this easter weekend amid growing frustration with the pandemic infections are once again surging in the country with more than 18000 new daily cases in pre-court of the dress which will air on saturday evening steinmeyer will ask germans to overcome what he calls a crisis of trust in the government. the pandemic has held up a mirror to our country reflecting our compulsion to lay down rules for everything our fear of taking risks the shunting back and forth of responsibility how can we change that and how can we make our institutions more resilient we will have to address that at the moment however we are in the midst of the 3rd wave and it will take all of our strength all of us together to overcome its. deadly the chief

political analyst melinda crane joins us now to put the german president's remarks into a bit of context for us hello to you melinda i'd like to go right to what he just said in that clip we played about germany facing itself in a mirror reflecting on this compulsion to lay down rules for everything a fear of taking risks shunting back and forth from responsibility what is the president driving at. well he's essentially driving at what is perceived by many people here in germany as a constant back and forth course of coded pandemic management so we have the minister presidents of the federal government meeting at regular intervals and then issuing pronouncements and then often a couple of weeks later appearing to take back those pronouncements or to modify them or different federal states disagreeing with one another about how to proceed

and in fact the german constitution vests primary health policy responsibility in the federal states but the fact is that there's been a lot of tussling between them and the federal government about whether to tighten the restrictions loosen restrictions and many citizens have the sense that leadership is missing and they are for that is why the president issued what is a pretty clear warning or even a scolding to politicians coupled with concert about as you said a crisis of trust we have another short clip from these prerecorded remarks let's have a quick listen. all we must all pull together my fellow germans we must give it everything we've got there's no use merely being outraged about others or about our leaders rather than constantly pointing out what doesn't work we should point out that

things do work when everyone does their bit that is what i'm talking about when i talk about trust because ultimately trusting in a democracy means nothing other than trusting in ourselves. all right melinda so you said just before it's clear that time meyer is addressing at least partly german politicians in this clip we just heard he's talking a lot about trust and also urging germans not just to focus on what's going wrong with the pandemic response what is his underlying message here and who is the target of that. well it's essentially targeted at both german citizens but also at german politics sensually saying look easter is a time for hope and there is every reason to be hopeful the vaccine roll out is now gathering speed many people will have the opportunity to be vaccinated but

essentially he's saying for them to avail themselves of that opportunity they need to trust trust in the vaccines trust in the judgment of political leaders and therefore he's essentially melding these 2 hope trust and it's crucial to know the german president doesn't set policy himself piece essentially the moral compass of the nation and that's why he's speaking to these overriding themes hope and trust. chief political analyst melinda crane thank you so much. now for a roundup of some of the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic britain's health regulators says 7 people have died due to a rare blood clots after receiving the astra zeneca vaccine but it remains unclear whether there is a connection bangladesh has announced a 7 day mation wide lockdown beginning on monday it comes after the nation recorded

its highest single day coronavirus case increase on friday and kenya has suspended the private import of coronavirus vaccines citing fears of counterfeit inoculations . all right some sports news now and a german soccer in this weekend sees the most important match of the world as big a season so far 2nd place leipsic host 1st placed byron munich the defending champions now a win for leipzig would put them within a point of the top spot and live 6 chances have been bolstered by an injury that will keep byron's a leading goalscorer out of action. when a club has to leave this kind of challenge. this kind of goal scoring prowess. this robert leavened off on the sidelines or in the stands it's going to hurt the guy was on track this season to actually break a 49 year old boy in his league

a goal scoring record. and then playing for his home country poland he suffered a knee injury expected to put him out for a month so how can boy and beat the club nipping at their heels leipzig without their wonder score is a push for shift to get you riled up about this because i don't have it. maybe we redistribute the team a bit although we do have other players who can play at this position so we approach this in a positive way. yeah it's a challenge for us but we'll face that. there's much to face in leipsic at leipsic stadium it is one bundesliga club that doesn't fear the defending champs in december they played byron 2 or $33.00 draw at byron with levon dusky so player and coach in confidence is their. coach you really are not going says biron is obviously better with their top scorer but leipzig game plan won't suddenly change . over the course of the bundestag a season so far as levin dos you scored almost half of byron's total goal count

leipsic have spread the scoring out in this left and dusky less matchup between the top 2 clubs the 2nd place team on paper have an edge i. hear up to date now on news. thanks so much. we're all set to go. yes. we're. as we take on the. we're all about the stories that matter to. the. policeman funnelling. you fire makes.

welcome to our movie about early childhood education early childhood education is very important. many reasons for this the for all i know all right but enough of that for the real take it from here if you'd kept it up much longer we totally would have lost it and chances are we would have gotten you back to the point is beginnings matter. like a basketball team doesn't play to the whole 1st. or an architect who says forget the blueprint let's just start building. on a stand up comic who skips the setup and goes right to the punch line 28.

but the place beginnings matter most in life is well like. bees in the beginnings of humanity grew up in these very rich extended families. not just mothers but fathers grandmothers friends cousins and they were all there all the time with the children. so in that kind of context in that country village caring for children teaching them just getting the work done that you need they all took place at the same time. and of course the world that we live in now is a very very different world from. 'd paris or increasingly having to raise kids on their own and they are also having to do it while the path to war in order to earn enough to even support a family not all. what people now have come to understand the use

of these early childhood years research range of own research and personality their own are more important than anything else. the central problem is that our society has a diminished capacity to support the terms in doing what society expects them and needs them to. wire society to which. is a business from. the beer summit that most folks don't know but. these are our children our peer group i'm going to ignore and. just going on as if it's going to correct itself that's a pastor for a traffic stop. so welcome to our movie about early childhood

education and if we do our job by the time we're done you'll be using this baby and the world just a little bit differently because this is internet suppose a it's a wake up call to start seeing early childhood but what it seems a grown up issue again changer to start seeing and it has no small matter lead. above. her. was. done years ago what do you think you do it's a house it executive director i made. a living this is how you do it your house. my name is rachel jeannie sheaves i 80 and i and i and you have a title as your title i will be leaving church. here at home pretty nursery school

and take your summer and we're in the yellow brown told me how she was how did he get her how did you start putting it in your mouth touch you know how to. take a really turn it about how we mark. you're starting to develop this idea that you have this computer inside of your head that you can't see any controls everything about you. because you know how to treat hot. coals kids his age are far more capable than you and i would have heard the kingdom credit card so when you give them the materials and you can send some knowledge they're able to run with it ok we're going to have a really important discussion number one why do we start talking learning i don't know is it the. status quo.

let's go to a school and i want to. say you were born you started to do what. you said when you. started to. babies are born learning. there is a brain ready to learn and it's ready to learn especially from other people social brain. and our work on imitation i think helped show that. i remember sitting in front of this 42 minute old baby who had never seen a tongue before i poked out my tongue at her and she responded with tongue patrician back i opened in close my mouth she watched my lips move and responded by opening closing her mouth says

a phenomenal thing the baby had never seen her own thanks but yet she was able to connect her own body to my body and it was a dramatic demonstration to me that we are born learning. for some 2000 years people thought that babies and young children were sort of defective grownups so they defined babies you know children in terms of all the things that they were missing so they were there were optional and they were egocentric they couldn't understand the relationships between cause and effect or take the perspective of another person the picture was that there really wasn't very much that was going on in till children got to be about the age that you went to school. here already up close the parents about 35 years ago maybe we started really changing our view on our right so we're just going to have a human between the puppet now. allright that was the helpful guy was the next one

thing that happened is that we got new technologies that actually let us study babies in the way. i read and not that completely revolutionize our picture about what makes your children a lot. this is very very good we're the 1st in the world to put be in every gene machine it's perfectly safe and noninvasive like a stethoscope for the brain we're just going to sleep place in the eye sees right away on the fuck i mean on the side you. magneto once a philosophy allows you to measure the firing of the neurons in the brain as a child is doing something like listening to a word to little monkeys high up in the treaties or interacting with mom and or playing on. as you can see the room mormons talking to they are getting very very good attention on the part of the let's look at right frontal for the 1st

time in history we can see what's happening in the baby's brain before they can talk back to us but also sounds. don't control how you know me and i so what we've found is that children learn more and more earlier than anyone ever expected babies are doing something remarkable without anybody knowing it's going on the baby brain is actually taking statistics as they listen to us talk and they don't know words yet but they can tell the frequency of the sounds. while you're talking to the baby the baby's brain is reacting trying to get ready to talk back to you. and people have the tendency to think there's nothing going on that's going on up there is rocket science. in fact the 1st 3 years of life are like a big bang for the brain and explosion of 86000000000 neurons connecting to. each other over a 1000000 times a 2nd as babies interact with the world and the people around them these

connections form pathways that wire together different parts of the brain so many pathways that starting around age 3 the brain hits the brakes and kicks in to use it or lose it mode there's this kind of inflection point where the connections that have been used a lot get to be stronger and stronger the connections that are used disappear they're proven as people and whether or not the connection is strengthened or dies back is experience dependent right it's based on our experiences so literally our experiences shape our brains our brains grow faster during the 1st 5 years of life than they ever will again and the older we get the harder it is to change what's there this is why the surly period is so important if you miss the right experience years or if you just rocked your circuits then you have some weekend

foundation for your brain is going to have to deal with for the rest of your life. so what has the biggest impact on how well the brain gets wired. with the belief that. it's not flash cards or fancy apps that build a healthy brain it's every day back and forth interactions with loving supportive adults school is basically anywhere with any one shown every favorite game play relates. social interaction is the brain food for the child healthy development. i believe he does every day long us with a child are actually learning moments of the trial. from pick koopa own. you give me a good so this really raises the stakes on what we provide for children in the

earliest years of life if we don't get that right then from then on we're basically fixing something that's broken. because. the good news is we know what kids need to thrive. the bad news we're making it harder and harder for parents to give it to them. this is the portrayed of a very important brian she is the wife and mother of america her job is to make a home the american on the day it is perhaps the most important job in the world. so we have all of this research from social scientists from neuroscientists telling us why it's so important to invest in young children from birth to 5 at the same time we have these all fashion notions around the role of women why should a baby be anywhere but with a mom until she's 3 or 5. feel most look very very

different than a day 30405020 years ago not that long ago a high school diploma good attitude was enough to get you would job but one seller did support one family with a couple of kids today there are so many families where both parents have to work of there's only one parent that parent is working more women are in the workforce more women are in the workforce that have children under the age of 5. the demands of work are radically different the unpredictable work hours that families have to navigate for example you may or may not live close to your family and so that creates a challenge parents need to support this is not a luxury. you pretend that it's ozzie and harriet that is and you know there's someone who's taking care of the big. who's taking care of the big.

i think they're all. hey. hey. i'm cooking. i don't want to go besmirching are. in like $10.00 a day playing the lottery to wish i could be. a start of a 1000000 what is a. big. sending her to a daycare center was not something i wanted to do for at least a year. but we're at a home where both of us have to work in order to survive. we have to work this year daddy. it's not like there's a smorgasbord of childcare out there. we are a lucky to finally found. it was

a scramble like we were going to childcare facilities every day in vail ability is slim and not. really only have a few options despite teacher ratio despite the class size they all cost. of course it's going to require us to basically scale back some of our spending and appropriate some our savings you know holding out a. little bit but i don't know how people do it i really don't switching to cover human change. sorry. so tomorrow you have to go to school ok home alone ok your back stronger oh. no one's going to love your child the way you do nobody's going to care for your child the way you well. but i'm looking for the closest thing to it.

and. so sorry long passage of the sea. fish. so for us it's so not ready for the shoot to. stay at home i feel pretty.

with most critical point kids like that right now right looking at right now after 12 years right now but i want to tell you that the investment you do in that young person from the very beginning gives you the best possibility of scaling this thing and be of such because ending in this will pay off dividends for this country in a way that nothing else will. shake gattis is about as close to living proof of that as you can get gattis is the executives. director of the flatbush y.m.c.a. in brooklyn. he also happens to be one of the subjects of a landmark early learning study that's been tracking him for more than 40 years the advice of darien project launched in 1972 by researchers in chapel hill north carolina the study was designed to examine the long term impact of full day high quality early care and education on low income children like shay i started when i

was 3 months old i do have vivid memories and i remember so games polls still things which today i can't stop planned possibles quite honest. wholesomeness his 4 and a half decades in the results of the study are striking as a group gaddis and his former classmates are healthier they're better educated they make more money and they're less likely to have committed a crime and then a group of similar kids the study also tracked who didn't attend the program mom she had she's 16 so my grandparents raised me from birth neither one of them had 3rd grade education couldn't read or write and so from my own experience here's a child grew up with limited resources good was able to attain a global playing field in the classroom if i don't know that i'm sorry

a program probably when i have a chance. we have a chance of ending intergenerational poverty today in this country you're born into poverty odds are you're going to end up as an adult and high quality early childhood education that's a strong possibility breaking that cycle adversary and is one of several long term studies that show when it comes to children there earlier we invest the bigger the payoff for society compared to all the things then we do for the rest of their life we are writing checks that are so much more expensive than what it would have been had we invested when they were little football. value in not having to retain a child you can put that dollar value on the health care implications long term a dollar value on that meeting special ed you can put a dollar value on that child graduate high school getting a better job and i think taxes in particular you can put our values on the loss of the crime which you won't find a better public return than investing in early childhood education.

early brain infrastructure should be taken to seriously as other forms of infrastructure as highways and bridges and airports and those are some things this is her workforce c.e.o.'s of big corporations they need young employees that play well with others they don't want just smart people they really want people that have good commercial skills good social judgment and so we have to really attend to the development of these parts of the brain that allow us to play in the sandbox.

hi we are in my own family's to our program is free and is for moms to have babies they can attend a program with the babies almost back of on stay is a chain generation program that partners parent education about child development with her early childhood education for little 10 to 3. almost 30 percent of people in waco live in poverty there's that codes and since the strikes in waco were one in 4 children go hungry. for. the one year old that that house one year he doesn't know how to set up. and we weren't shot with that kid really go out and you can't say anything you did that was. you can work with children until you're blue in the face but if the hum environment is also not transformed and that child's opportunities for success will be limited . we've been seeing the impacts of early childhood adversity on

health on behavior on life outcomes for a very very very long time but what we now know is the mechanism we know how early adversity leads to all of these different negative outcomes. and that is what we now understand to be toxic stress. to understand toxic stress we got to understand the stress response system itself the stress response system is this amazing evolutionary system that was designed to save our lives and the folks who did not evolve the stress response their god they got. so let's imagine you're a one year old in prehistoric time you've just woken up from your nap you're hungry and you're lowering cost really needs change so you step outside the cane and nobody's there instinctively you know something's wrong without adults there to care for you you're totally helpless and that's when your stress response system

kicks into gear immediately what happens is that our brain sends a signal to release stress hormones so we would leave adrenaline and cortisol and these hormones activate a whole slew of changes in our brains and bodies our heart starts to pound our pupils dilate our airways. the brain tells you you're in a teacher situation you need to do whatever it takes to protect yourself so you do the one thing you can to tell the world you need help. and the dad grandma grandma comes along with your stress response system powers down and you know everything's going to be ok. fast forward 40000 years. stress is still a part of everyday life for babies and young children even if some of the causes are a little bit different. the

stress response involved to switch on immediately in the face of a threat now is the fact that i'm very head. but it's the comforting presence of caring adults that teaches the brain to switch it off when the threat is passed we're just talking about being responsive just loving a child see that when she sends out a signal that she's distressed or scared she can count on the fact that a caregiver is going to be there in some way to help address that situation. but what if the stress and a young child's life never stops violence in the home or in the neighborhood parental rather bishan incarceration are mental health problems severe neglect or abuse and what if the adults around their child don't or can't help them cope with it when children are experiencing situations of fear and adversity and they do not

have the buffering caregiver continued to pump out high levels of adrenaline and cortisol and here's the problem if that stress hormones things over to actually starts to disrupt the developing brain circuits and then we start to see the health problems that are associated with toxic stress. toxic stress takes direct aim at the prefrontal cortex undermining a child's ability to concentrate control their emotions or get along with others a biological problem that becomes a behavioral one when a child gets to school the brain basically goes on fight or flight mode. so when they walk into a classroom they continue to respond as if they're in a stressful dangerous unpredictable environment. to a teacher that child looks like they're just misstating that's a problem child but the damage from toxic stress goes beyond the developing brain

they are also facts on metabolism on the mune system on the cardiovascular system with profound consequences for physical health and mental health when those markers are set in childhood they impact the way our bodies work for the rest of our lives . kids growing up in low income families are especially vulnerable to toxic stress today that's nearly half the children under 6 in america. think of our toxic stress i think about how our cascades electricity bill can be paid your lights go out you can put things on the table everybody's unhappy after a while adults are relating in certain ways but on healthy children or relating in certain ways that on healthy you're living in a community that's doing things that's not healthy and all of it begins to have an impact on a 5 year sentence which argues for why we should be seen just about the children

because children live in families we cannot transform the lives of children we don't transform the lives of their parents as well. part of helping families make that shift is helping them create a dream and a goal and then think about one of the steps that i need to do in order to make that human reality. that was working in the chicken plans for like 78 years working on the 2 plans my 1st husband just slightly and jail a lot of times and i feel like a fair market for myself so that's what the struggle of me to go to both jobs i was born to work at 12 midnight get off a 6 and then go to have. pic of the babies get i'm dressed for school drop out of school and then go to my 2nd job 8 in the morning get a 5 by some fast forward take them to the bed like around 637 almost

and then he like it they don't they want to be outside what if i go in there having 4 and i will sell sauce say that i couldn't do it i work in a restaurant we're going to. find you. and i was 30 years old. and he and then i was one day on the street and these girls were pressing fliers they tell me no there's a good program was it they can help you out if you want to finish the and that kotick or the baby for free air they teach you how to be with the kids so i was like yes this is my fertility right there we're going to talk about the brain when you have you challenge is to late in environment his brain is going to how can we exercise the brain singin to our children read into our children talk into our children i'm a mom for 4 kids and i thought i was the best long i know how to take care of the

kids no one is going to tell me what to do or how to do it right but know a learn a lot of stuff from them i couldn't believe it. and they're my son passing improvement over here because now he's turned around when he hears the sounds. are all of the e.b.u. aguilar. 80 k. share now all day you have to lose hope is that can you love them you know there we find some quote so the teachers are like help you. remember. you know what i did what i love about on say is their early childhood education is forward thinking if we want our child to succeed in the future the e.s.l. ged classes and workforce development training is the here now so i'm going to gain the skills that i need. to lift my family out of poverty this morning one we are going to continue working on some day and we also want to continue working on some

of your writing which are constructive responses always in my dreams i want to be a c. in a sort of a nurse assistance i mean you don't get paid a lot but at least try to start somewhere these programs change my life i didn't. i have a better job i can deal with my sons the injured in the school i learned to be a better mom i learn to understand my children and to be respectful to my kids they need to be as a. dream again i'm their you believe need to keep tabs on things they say. oh they do for me. just as i wish one day. denmark's like me have just come into.

the city you know we didn't do it we are going to finish right. we can be a better little bit mom. but this is her. i'm going to do it because i wanted to see that. they can do it but. there's a big huge fight of the money and the courage. to be there with. them to. hear come with me guys i found a really great spot where i think we're going to be able to find a lot of really cool bugs we're going to try to find bugs we're going to find out what kind of other. well hold on our job is to find out what kind of bug it is so we can bring it into the yellow room and guess what. we're going to show you're

totally right and we're going to act as bug experts. so what does teaching and instruction and learning look like in a high quality program the world. looks like. why don't think it's good and it doesn't feel like. grab a box or grab one of the books like why because we can look at that might be to have some kind of in a high quality program you don't see a little kid sitting at desks you don't see a teacher in front of a room talking and talking and talking to a bunch of kids in the back of the room i think that's. what kind of a. i get. that it looks like a man is a great. athlete. you want to have a child who's in an environment where there's

a lot of play and there's a lot of ability to explore and you also need to have an adult there who's doing the scaffolding you know line we can he does in our classes would hang shit. you see the teacher encouraging the children to explore and understand and learn from whatever it is they're doing i wanted to nominate headlines around that really nice observation it's not just replay but it looks a long one because everyone's having i don't think they're out there. and i haven't seen it that way but i think it's kind of a young kid and you know it's a fair way that. you can say we're jewish why don't we found out it was a different kind of a i don't agree nancy say out here. well let's look at a picture maybe let's look at one look at a translation will not get a great man today and we'll see which one. we can measure things like teacher ratios whether or not a teacher had a b.a. in a number of those are all very important really makes a huge difference in

a child's life is how the child and teacher interact with. this let me just take care of it. so what happened today. poison grouse no it's not i just haven't even looked it up a guess at it. a little bit what it is that it i think these children will be lifelong learning and mr neil has find the see in them they won't always have a thirst for knowledge this is the place to take and so it's a little overplayed as are a lot of right and. one of the things that really can education providers fight against constantly is the idea that they're just babysitting. the babysitter is

yet to quit that's one big piece of it's brain built early childhood educators are scientists their emotional supporters are family advocates they're an educator their health care provider they're also a party planner because you have to keep children busy and occupied and engaged and you have to keep 20 of them you know i often tell people to think about their child's 2 year old birthday but it doesn't end after a couple of hours and they all come back the next day and the next. day told me. they're doing the work that will really fundamentally make a difference for the outcomes of these young children i want to be in their midst i want to be the one that's like. us you can join anything this is possible like when they reflect on. their preschool experience i want them to have this weird memory of this person that may or may not have existed they let them do things that they

don't quite remember but they remember being really cool and it's weird to think that i'm not going to have that impact anymore we're. a teacher. it's all of us out. i had 2nd jobs last year. all of us really child teachers me like under 3 pretty clearly. as to preschool teacher my basic things i have said this is what like i work 2 jobs heralds are there going to figure where i am but you shut down it was the point time we had to supplement our incomes we had just a chair like i'm not gonna lie i've been here 2 extra years because i make excuses . today we have higher expectations than we've ever had of what childcare teachers can and should accomplish but we are

placing those expectations on the back of a workforce that isn't earning poverty level wages. in this country the typical childcare teacher's wages fall below those of the people who take care of our dogs who park our cars who make our drinks. in childcare teachers earn in the bottom 3 to 5 percent of the national wage scale they've been at the bottom for the past 25 years and they haven't budged and. it's not only unfair from an economic point of view it's down right stupid. right. let's go. after the other. it's called the book. but there's one core

message about development it's that it is cumulative and even though it gets harder to change brain structures harder to change behavior as children grow up the door is always open well for an integer it's the investment from adults that very day. think of leaving a combination of caring for children and teaching them at the same time just in our everyday activity that really and it literally makes us human push. that all that concerned and i think everybody when it comes to their children has this feeling this is the most important thing in the world what could possibly be more important that means that it doesn't need to be said it's the only live it doesn't need to be replaced scuse me mr know it all this. i think that. the real. 'd hard part is to get people to realize that that's not just true about my children it's true about your children and the

children of the people down the block and the children of the people who don't look like us who aren't in the same part of the city or are in the same part of the state or for that matter are in the same part of the world. around. you know white i just want to say i call community home per night here. in the land of i'm going back to grant my masters.

and i can't thank my great. every time i hear somebody talk about how worried about the future of america they're worried about where we're going to be 25 years from now in terms of going forward. and then they're not really interested in investing in early childhood and i want to slap your forehead like what are you thinking how are we going to get there are that foundation for all the things we want to see in society is laid in his earliest years. yet my great like funny that let's just say that's a lifestyle no matter what we're talking about. that answer to help solve the problem go to problem. we have a deeper understanding of how important these are always. and once you know that you can't just put there if you. turn out money.

i mean in my 2 hands. you want to tell a. very whole answer the challenge that we have is that people will go we can't afford this stuff going to cost too much money but people fail to ask is how much are we paying as a society because we're not putting those investments up front we need leaders in washington we need leaders in every community to step up and say no this 1st this is our priority every child should have access to high quality early education well that's a 2015 graduation ceremony here talionis man. if we get it done at the very basic level we have missed an enormous opportunity at the more egregious level we have failed young children and failed their families and failed to follow through on the promise of the american dream. and the to.

thank. if we get this right our country will dramatically different. luck early learning is not a panacea to fix everything in society but what he can do is deal. we are and christmas is such an amazing time. unlocking the secrets of the brain. we never had a way to walk into a baby's brain before. there are ways to build environments to optimize the way in which people grow. that's what we call reach environment for children whatever we want to college childcare preschool home we have to do it every.
