We already have something similar to this in Kansas. It is called, Parents as Teachers. It is voluntary. Both my daughter's used and liked the program. A young teacher came around at set times (frequently with the first new born) or when called by the parent. They gave ideas of things to do with the baby. She taught the parents how to make age appropriate games to play. They checked on the babies development. One grandson at age 2 1/2 was found to have a speech delay and through this program got free speech therapy. He is now 4 and speech is up to par. We sure do not need anything federal. But with local control of the program and with total voluntary participation the Kansas model seems pretty helpful, especially as so many young people do not have good family support when the kids come as everyone is working or out of town.

they think you do, they think you need their guidance and indoctrination.

wonder how many kids will be taken away because they see something not state approved.
