We like this New York Times article by Sharon McCaffrey about a  New Jersey program that helps children build emotional and social skills. McCaffrey, who is training to be a social worker, is raising money for the Family Connection PrePARE iniative. She talked to Tareese Seabrooks, a mother  who said the program helped her bond more with her son Tyree after her newborn infant and mother died.
