OSU School Readiness Study
Action Plan Resources
This website is a resource for families who participated in OSU's School Readiness Study. It offers more information and resources about the topics in the action plans.

Chemical Exposure
Flame retardant chemicals have been added to many consumer products and building materials. This makes them hard to avoid. However, there are some things you can do to reduce your child’s exposure to these chemicals.

Life's Challenges
Life can present unexpected challenges that impact our children, from witnessing violence to experiencing loss or neglect. Although we cannot remove all risk, parents can help children navigate life’s challenges and support their healing and resilience.

Nurturing Resilience
Fostering resilience is an ongoing journey, with ups and downs. It takes love, patience, and consistency, but there is no one way to build resilience. Try the strategies that fit best for you and your family. By helping children build protective factors we empower them to thrive.

Are you curious about how results for your child were measured?
Participation in the study generated information about children's early academic and self regulation skills, environmental exposure, and social environments.
