Early childhood development covers children aged 0–8 years. My advocacy
focuses on the period from pregnancy to age 3 because it is scientifically proven that this is a very sensitive period for brain development. Yet, in many settings, this period is not usually addressed in
programming for early childhood development. In these earliest years, the health sector is uniquely positioned to provide support for nurturing care. From age 3, children move into more formal preschool settings where the education sector plays a pivotal role. I am mindful that optimal development results from interventions in many stages of life. My advocacy focuses on the period from
pregnancy to age 3 in order to draw attention to the health sector’s extensive reach, and to make use of it.
