It's not too late to join us!!

Unpacking the Developmental Trauma of COVID-19:

Meeting children where they are and
helping them get to where they need to be.


The term "covid baby" is becoming more and more popular when it comes to explaining away children's behavior.

While we know that COVID-19 had a significant impact on children and families, it is my goal to bring us back to a place where children are met where they are at and care is individualized for their success; regardless of the circumstances that got them there.

We meet the 2nd Monday of every month from 6:30-8 on zoom.


Credit is given in MiRegistry for anyone who attends live or submits a reflection after watching the recording.

Who am I?

I am Julie Sizemore, creator of RESPECT Care Teaching. I am a wife and mother of two children. I have been in the field of early childhood education since 1999 in many different capacities. I have worked in home based child care, center based child care, been a home visitor, and a community liaison.

I am a fierce advocate for treating infants and toddlers with respect, educating people on developmentally appropriate practices, and coaching providers on how to individualize the care of all children.
