children's play sufficiently. here we see how a simple item like little wooden cubes can stimulate a child's imagination. through their block play, children are confronted with many mental challenges having to do with measurement, equality, balance, shape, spatial relationships, and physical properties. boy: hey, look. look at this. one of the strongest benefits of play is the way it enhances social development, and once again, playful social interactions begin practically from the moment of birth. dramatic play helps children experiment with and understand social roles. it also gives them countless opportunities for acquiring social skills as they play with others. through dramatic play, children gradually learn to take each other's needs into account and appreciate different values and perspectives. therapists have long understood the emotional benefit of play. through play, children are able to express and cope with their feelings. play also helps relieve stress and pressure for children. they can just be thems

other children in the group? once again, one of the best things we can do for our children is to listen to them. and i mean really listen. i've seen a lot of teachers, especially those who are new and nervous, spend so much time talking-- or worse yet, answering their own questions-- that the children can hardly get a word in edgewise. let's look for opportunities to give our children something real to talk about. it's so easy for a child's attention to wander when we expect them to talk about something abstract or vague or something they've never experienced in real life. children's talk should be based on solid, real, lived-through experiences. teacher: well, cocoons, what are you doing over here? child: this lives in the pond. are you at the pond now? yes, we're working on the pond. you're building a pond? yeah. what kind of things live at your pond?

. >> when it comes to children, it is a big deal. young children that we heard about, collecting blueberries, 3 and 5 years old, 7 years old, and the rationale was, because their hands are so tender and small, that they would not crush the blueberries. >> what they're doing is noble, and helping the family, but they need to break the cycle. >> if the public were more aware, i think they'd be outraged. >> this week on fault lines investigates children at work in agriculture, america's hidden harvest. it's saturday morning at mariana higareda's house. she's taking her daughter and granddaughter out to the fields to pick onions. since it's a weekend, it will be a full day of harvesting. >> mariana and her children follow the harvest across texas, into new mexico and colorado. they live in their home in laredo, texas, for only part of the year. onions have to be harvested by hand. workers clip off the roots and green tops, and collect them into burlap bags to cure in the field. >> the workers earn between 80 cents to $1.75 per bag of oni

so i have two children in my village all the children in the fields but nevertheless a so-called job employee says the opposite. it's. a look it's written here guaranteed not to have used child labor. not on any large child labor is forbidden in our company in summer our inspectors survey the fields and they make sure there are no children in the fields. it's forbidden to send children to work it's a company priority it's inadmissible. should therefore have inspectors on the lookout throughout the area. and parents to stop sending the children into the fields. but do they sometimes go back. sometimes they don't go back. because our producers the ones we work with they don't use children. we never came across one inspector finally people change their story big bird if you have a four hector field you need a lot of people so obviously that's going to include children otherwise the yield would be smaller. yes yes they do help those kids but the important point is that they're not treated badly. just that it's not forced labor . end up admitting the children are working in the fields so

those children are losing years of life. and you can make a difference for those children here and those ripples will go everywhere. i am impressed to have heard the analyst report, roberto reminding us that this is a health inequity and a health disparity and -- who is working with my children and one of my teachers who i have learned from and who you are obviously learning all of this important information. we are part of a movement. you are sphere heading that movement now. san francisco is just the most important place for this to happen. if colleagues that i am working in anyway, that will be an honor. and you will do a lot to change the health of this city. i think you have a winning strategy with going with the two-thirds, with spelling out where the money is going to be spent so people know before hand and this amazing network that already exist of people who are understanding this issue and being able to address it. so. i am with you 100 percent. thank you for the very very kind words that you said about me. they ar

in terms of children beyond obesity are children getting diabetes or prediabetes and we know that once someone whether you are a kid develops prediabetes you are on your way and we are hearing more and more about kids in high school having not just prediabetes but full on diabetes and when you speak to pediatricians and disadvantaged part of the city with prediabetes or full diabetes. it's stark. >> yeah. we found some statistics that showed approximately 3600 cases of childhood diabetes diagnosed annually. >> can i just throw in another question. i know that robert from uc sf pointed it's not just diabetes and obesity but also liver damage and other health problems and you are not even tracking that. it's probably even a much bigger problem than the data that what you are showing. >> that is correct. there are probably a list of 10 chronic conditions that the scientific evidence pretty extensively can connect to consumption of sugary sweet and beverages that we didn't quantify the health impacts and foreman impacts and those include cardiovascular conditions and toxicity. again, we be

children are amazingly resilient. it's important to have the opportunity not to lose out on critical schooling years. that is a part of the infrastructure. that is one of the largest priorities. you quite rightly raise shelter, both as a priority in one of the areas that is always one of the most challenging after these storms. we've learned a lot i think in terms of the importance of providing transitional shelter because people very quickly into the kind of shelter that can withstand additional weather events, understanding that may be a while for the permanent shelter solutions to fully come on stream. we saw this evening katrina as you noted after katrina. you know, the other challenge is there is often a desire to look at policies that help citizens not rebuild in areas that are at greatest risk. these are the tough policy decision that often takes a while for a government to responsibly work through to a solution. our strategy was to first of all provide a life-saving shelter material pit that got people of the

so i have two children in my village all the children in the fields but nevertheless a so-called job employee says the opposite. it's. a look it's written here guaranteed not to have used child labor got stuck. now after all any large child labor is forbidden in our company in summer our inspectors survey the fields and they make sure there are no children in the fields. it's forbidden to send children to work it's a company priority it's inadmissible. should therefore have inspectors on the lookout throughout the area. and parents to stop sending the children into the fields. but do they sometimes go back. sometimes they don't go back. because our producers the ones we work with they don't use children. we never came across one inspector finally people change their story big bird if you have a four hector field you need a lot of people so obviously that's going to include children otherwise the yield would be smaller. yes yes they do help those kids but the important point is that they're not treated badly. just that it's not forced labor . end up admitting the children working in t
