Kate Middleton says ‘not enough is being done’ to recognise importance of early childhood
The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton has said “not enough is being done” to recognise the “unique potential” of early childhood.
She wrote: “Over the past 10 years, talking to a wide range of experts about how we deal with societal issues like poor mental and physical health, I have become more and more sure of one thing: if we are going to create a healthier and happier society for future generations, we must start by understanding and acknowledging the unique importance of the first five years of life.
Writing for Saturday’s newspaper, she said: “It is the way we develop through our experiences, relationships and interactions at that very young age that shapes everything from our ability to form relationships and succeed at work, to our mental and physical health as adults. “We have an incredible opportunity, armed with all we now know as a result of the work of dedicated scientists, researchers and practitioners, to make a huge difference to the mental and physical health of generations to come.
