The Future of Children - FOC in Blogosphere

The Brookings Institution's The Future of Children publication is a wonderful resource. It is free, and the information is always timely and relevant. I like to use it as a reference in some of the classes I teach, and I recommend it to students and colleagues.

I discovered that FOC is keeping track of mention its articles in the blogosphere. So, at the risk of turning this into an endless echo chamber, I decided to holler back.

Raising Healthy Children: Translating Child Development Research Into Practice - Guerra - 2011 - Child Development - Wiley Online Library

This is a must read issue of Child Development, a publication of SRCD. Would love to see FCSRJ do something like this. People need to understand how research connects to their daily lives. More importantly, research needs to be focused on improving the quality of people's lives. If we can't or won't reach out to the public, then ultimately we haven't accomplish a thing. Translational research should really be what a Family and Consumer Sciences is all about.
