About this Webinar:

Image of a baby smiling with the text Learn the Signs Act Early. This quarter, the Act Early Network is partnering with
ZERO TO THREE to bring you a presentation on Millennial Connections: Survey Results from Millennial Parents on their Beliefs, Needs, and Challenges.

In this webinar,  participants will explore and apply the results of two recent parent surveys from ZERO TO THREE (2016 and 2018) that asked Millennial parents of children aged birth to five about their child-rearing beliefs and practices; the parenting topics they struggle with; and the sources of information they seek out most frequently. Results from these surveys provide insight into parents' concerns about their children's development and offer a deeper understanding of how they use technology to guide their parenting. This session will provide several examples of multimedia strategies for engaging Millennial parents, who are using Web-based and mobile devices for parenting guidance more frequently than any other generation.

The Act Early Network is a collaborative initiative of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs (AMCHP) and the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) to further advance the CDC's "Learn the Signs. Act Early." Program.
