Globally we're amidst a measles epidemic with the World Health Organisation (WHO) reporting a whopping 300 per cent increase in the number of cases worldwide in the first three months of 2019, compared to the same period last year.
What's most alarming is that countries like New Zealand, where vaccination levels are high, have seen recent spikes in measles outbreaks. The culprit is thought to be clusters of unvaccinated people spreading the highly infectious disease, something that has put the immunisation status of early childhood educators under the spotlight.

The important art
of sharing

Sharing is an essential skill for the social, cognitive and emotional development of children. When even the most basic sharing skills are developed in the preschool years, the positive effects on communication and socialisation can extend long into the future.
Early childhood educators are in a good position to encourage the development and practice of sharing and this week we look at the reasons why it's important, and how you can easily promote sharing among the children in your service.
