Families & Relationships
Just in time parenting
Healthy children and families are the foundation of strong, prosperous communities.
Land-Grant University and Cooperative Extension Systems support efforts that take a holistic, life-span approach to promoting healthy physical, cognitive, social and emotional development for individuals and families within their diverse ecologies.
The Just in Time series is for parents – prenatally through the teen years — available in English and Spanish. Each issue cuts to the core of what it takes for children to thrive — providing developmentally specific info about infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers.
