QuoteThe Duchess of Cambridge has urged government ministers to help Britain?s parents to bring up a new generation of emotionally-literate children, saying the country now has a ?huge opportunity? to change society for the better.
The Duchess, who invited Sajid Javid, the Health Secretary, and Will Quince, minister for families, to a roundtable meeting that presented research from her foundation, said she hoped to raise awareness of the ?critical importance? of the first five years of a child?s life.
Teaching youngsters how to manage their emotions from a young age, she said, would help them ?avoid having to turn to self-harm, addiction or suicide later in life?, with prevention better than cure.
It is the Duchess?s first meeting on a ministerial level about the subject, marking a major step forward in her public campaigning for early years support.

Great to meet @KensingtonRoyal & leading experts to discuss new research on the perceptions of early childhood & development.

Early years are crucial - that's why @dhscgovuk is investing over 300m with @educationgovuk @willquince to better support parents & their children.

Thank you to @KensingtonRoyal and @Earlychildhood for hosting a roundtable today. We discussed their latest research and how government, sector experts and practitioners can raise awareness of the importance of early childhood in shaping lifelong emotional and physical health.

Belatedly (there?s a good reason, I promise!) the Duchess of Cambridge in today?s #DailyMail as she discusses the next step of her early years initiative with government ministers #royal

^ I'm hedging a bet it will pass as a requirement, government budget money of the sort.

QuoteDuring today's visit, Kate heard how the care provided in the borough of Hillingdon exemplifies the benefits of adapting a system to better suit the needs of women and families.

Meanwhile she also joined a mother and baby group taking place at the Centre and spoke with mothers who have received support for their mental health to hear about their experiences.

The session included mothers who have been supported by two of the Maternal Mental Health Alliance's member organisations ? Home-Start and Birth Companions.

It's not everyday you get a poppy from a Princess 😊 Akeem who's 3 was very chatty when Kate unexpectedly stopped to say hello at a maternity mental health visit so she gave him her remembrance poppy. Thanks Liberty from Colham Manor primary and Akeem's mum for letting me share

Why would the release of a drama series prevent a royal performing an engagement? Honestly, the Fail gets more and more ridiculous by the day!

Catherine comments in the Telegraph

Of all the projects that any royal has done for their country and the people I firmly believe that what Catherine is doing for the future children will help to develop these children into mature mentally healthy adults....she really hit the nail on the head with this 1,000%. It all begins at home for any child, loving parents, a safe place to call home, a feeling of being cherished and going to bed with a full tummy also is so important to any child.....unfortunately not every child gets that when born.  I applaud Catherine for taking this on and it must come from her childhood and will carry over to her children and hopefully more parents and companies will support this.

More on this topic-By Telegraph's Hannah Furness Princess of Wales rightly says the first five years are the most crucial - so why do we underestimate their importance?
Early education educators in the UK and North America have been sharing their concerns for years (even prior to the pandemic) about the exact issues Catherine highlights in the article.   They are seeing the direct impact of those children who have not had those needs and experiences met in these crucial developmental years.  My own state has had a First Five Years public service campaign now for some time with suggestions for family members and caregivers to engage with children through conversation, singing, fine motor play, exercise, to sum it up INTERACT WITH YOUR CHILDREN!

QuoteThe critical importance of the ?first 1001 days? of a child?s life is now universally agreed, as are the simple things parents and carers can do to boost child development at home. Talking to babies and maintaining eye contact is invaluable, experts say, as is noticing and following their interests and simply letting them play. Getting outside, teaching young children to understand their feelings, and prioritising social and emotional development is universally recommended. 

?There are very few parts of human development that, if you miss a small period you?re completely stuffed,? says Prof Ramchandani. ?It?s pretty much always possible to catch up, but the time available to do so gets less and less as you go on through life.?

This week, the Select Education Committee has announced they are launching an inquiry into the state of childcare after praising Kate Middleton's "extremely welcome" involvement in trying to improve the lives of young children. In the past, the Princess of Wales has warned that "not enough is being done" to help the next generation and has promised to use her role as a royal to do "everything she can" to protect Britain's youngest children.

Robin Walker, the MP for Worcester and chair of the education committee, said Kate's work to "raise the esteem and the recognition of the sector" is "crucially important".

He added: "It is extremely welcome that [the Princess of Wales] has taken that interest."

I also for I firmly believe that Catherine has hit the nail on the head with Early Childhood Development 1000%. Being brought up in a loving home with parents who love, support and cherish their child is the most important phrase in a child's life when born.  This will help guide, produce and teach the child how to be a loving productive adult in life. No doubt in my mind that Catherine is on the road to make children with the help of other organizations and people  to be better for society in the long haul.

She knows that not all parents are enlightened and that there are serious issues affecting children in many households, but she also knows that by calling attention to the needs of the children she can make a difference. I do admire her, and she is genuine.

^Yes, I very much agree with your comment for maybe that is one of the reasons she  is so invested in early childhood development.  Some people are not meant to be parents I think for they have no idea how to raise a child as they themselves were not raised in a loving home.   Whatever as to why Catherine chose this is beyond me yet I so admire her for doing so. She will indeed be a fabulous queen consort some day yet in this day and age she is an outstandingly beautiful person inside and out in all ways.   William really found a truly strong intelligent hardworking and loyal woman besides the great looks to be his partner for life.
