Few months after birth, babies lose the hair they are born with. As they grow, the hairs start to grow out, some faster than others. But there are situations where the hairs don’t grow at all or don’t grow as you’d like.
This may be due to underlying conditions. Or it may be for some other reasons. Whatever the reason, these tips should trigger the growth of your child’s hair into fullness and lushness.
1. Get a Medical Diagnosis for Underlying Conditions
Talk to your child’s doctor;

.@POTUS famously said “Show me your budget and I’ll tell you what you value,” and President Biden made it so clear today – he values strong care infrastructure! This budget would be a huge win for the whole care economy 🧵 whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
.@POTUS recognizes the struggles people all over the country face balancing their care responsibilities. These historic investments in #ChildCare #PaidLeave and #AgingAnd DisabilityCare will lower costs for families and build the care infrastructure we desperately need.

If your state is looking to improve the lives of children & strengthen its #earlychildhood systems, the question to ask is: How do we compare to New Mexico? Below I’ll unpack just a few of the recent reforms that have catapulted the state to model status. 🧵
Because this is a story about change, it’s important to begin with a little context about the very real needs driving action. New Mexico has been persistently challenged on measures of child wellbeing, ranked 50th in the nation by @aecfkidscount as recently as this year.
But this data (which can lag several years in its reporting) really tells more about the impetus for change than it provides a real-time look at what’s happening on the ground. What is the state doing to address it? The better question might be what aren’t they doing?

In case you want a run down of the legislative goods on #GOP #Antichoice extremist Brian Fitzpatrick of #PA01, here's the rundown...
The TL;DR is that Brian Fitzpatrick has ALWAYS voted AGAINST #AbortionRights.
Always.
He's no moderate, don't drink the Kool-aid on that!

Important public policy isn’t always headline grabbing. Often dry-sounding bureaucratic reforms go a long way toward making life better for children & families. So today let’s unpack 3 recent system wins for young children that your state might be wise to consider: 🧵
We’ll begin in Oregon, where this week the federal government signed off on a groundbreaking pilot program to change to Medicaid eligibility for young children. To help put it in context, here’s a little background…
Medicaid is the nation’s public health insurance program for low income families - and is, accordingly, means tested. One associated challenge is that as work and income come and go for families, so too can Medicaid eligibility.
Glad to see Bloomberg @business covering our new paper on the impact of child care subsidy expansions -- very relevant to the policy debate happening as we speak! 1/n
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
@business In paper, joint w/amazing team of #ECE #childcare researchers (@ChrisMHerbst @aaronsojourner @Erdal_Tekin_ @jonathanborows2 @Liz1515Liz @realMattWiswall), we model childcare subsidy policies closely resembling current proposals (BBB, Murray-Kaine) nber.org/papers/w30140 2/n
We look at many outcomes: ECE use by sector, family ECE expenses, moms' employment, ECE teacher wages, market prices & total costs. Impt to model equilibrium, rather than simple static framework (w/ no change in hrs or types of care), b/c behavioral responses are key here. 3/n

Most Waterloo investors didn’t believe my dreams could be possible up “North”.
I ultimately determined that local Soo investors would have been more likely to fund a cupcake shop than deep tech AI; despite endless attempts.

Our youngest learners are negatively impacted by constant teacher and staff turnover due to the chronic public underfunding of early childhood education programs. #Childcare and #Prek educators deserve #WorthyWages! Today is #WorthyWageDay—retweet to show your support.
Since 1992, individuals, organizations and educators have come together around May 1st to fight for #worthywages for #ChildCare and #PreK educators. Why are we fighting for the same thing 30 years later? #SolveChildCare
#Childcare workers continue to be one of the lowest-paid occupations nationwide. #PreK teachers and #ChildCare and #PreK directors are also subject to low wages #WorthyWages #SolveChildCare cscce.berkeley.edu/workforce-inde… @CSCCEUCB

@AlecGarnett says HB22-1295 will bridge fragmented programs to create seamless #earlychildhood experiences for all #Colorado families.
It will save parents money, enroll more kids in the high-quality programs that we know work, all while being easy to access.#COleg

Among other oppressive forces working against women, one that is most difficult to face is "children need mother in early years".
This leads to exclusion of women from workforce for long periods.
Let's look at this assumption about mother's role.

Next speaker @Dhochlaf elaborates on these challenges. Says that gender inequalities in the workplace are seen both in the gender pay gap, as well as the gathering of women in lower-paid jobs #WhatWomenWant

🧵 #BuildBackBetter immediately increases access to #childcare by increasing income eligibility right away. @ALG_G21 details state-by-state how the current system compares to the eligibility limit in the first year #BuildBackBetter Act. fal.cn/3lRF0
Under #CCDBG, families with incomes up to 85% SMI have access to #childcare assistance. But with limited resources, states often set their initial income eligibility below that.
#BuildBackBetter Act would expand eligibility from day one to 100 percent SMI. This means the maximum amount a family can earn and still receive assistance, would increase by thousands of dollars.
The story of the #BuildBackBetter has yet to be written. Let’s examine the 50 Republican US Senators who are voting against lifting children out of poverty, education,elder care, affordable prescription drugs, child care & family leave? What does this mean for YOUR STATE?
#ALABAMA Sen. Richard Shelby is voting against the #ChildTaxCredit “The Center on Budget &Policy Priorities found making the program permanent would benefit 93% of #AL children,lift 162,000 #AL children above/closer to poverty line & benefit 480,000 #AL children under 17.
#ALABAMA Sen. Tommy Tuberville has offered you no solutions; he has admitted that he “wouldn’t have a clue” how to address the current pandemic and recently told people that $600 per week in federal unemployment benefits was just “too much.” al.com/news/2021/12/a…
Alright, alright we're about to come in HOT with reasons to support #BuildBackBetter🔥🔥 This Act was passed by the U.S. House last month, but time's running short for the Senate to take it up as well. 🧵
Avg. annual cost of #childcare for one toddler in Kansas is $10k/yr 😳 With #BuildBackBetter, child care costs would decrease significantly for families of 9 in 10 young children in Kansas. What could these savings mean for you and your family? 🧵
#BuildBackBetter = UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY PRESCHOOL for 47,000 additional Kansas children, ages 3 and 4. Whether it’s public schools or childcare providers or Head Start. 🎒🖍️🎨

3/ Paid leave supports women’s full participation in the labor force. It boosts earnings, mitigates families’ costs, honors the caregiving that happens within our homes, promotes racial and economic justice, and shrinks health disparities....

In this exploratory mixed method study, we asked 179 current/former regulated #familychildcare educators (FCCEs) across 4 states (CA, FL, MA, WI) about their experiences entering, staying in, and/or leaving the field, and we learned A LOT. (2/n)
ON LEAVING: 30 former FCCEs (small N, exploratory!) shared intersecting challenges w/ systems, economics, working conditions, & personal factors that contributed to their decisions to close their businesses (pre-COVID). Most mentioned at least 2/3 of the core challenges. (3/n)
