It’s not surprising that many parents in urbanised areas are struggling. Raising a child was once done by a whole village, but that task now falls on parents who have less social support than ever. Combine that with the pressure to be the “perfect parent”, and it’s a recipe for stress and anxiety in modern parenting. 👩👧👦Mothers especially carry the heavy burden of juggling work and child rearing responsibilities. That’s why this edition of Early Childhood Matters highlights how we can best care for caregivers. Across 24 articles, Early Childhood Matters 2023 showcases: 🤱 Why caregiver wellbeing matters 🧒🏽 Innovative ideas that are having a real impact on parents’ lives — from legislation to lullabies 😊 Expert analysis, personal perspectives, and real-world case studies on caregiver support Download your copy of Early Childhood Matters 2023 here ⏩ bit.ly/ECM-2023-online Special thanks to Shindy Lestari for the video 🙌📽️ #ECM2023 #EarlyChildhoodMatters #EarlyYears #ChildDevelopment #ECD #PeopleBeforeParents 🌟 Andrew Bomback, karni Arieli, Harriet Shugarman, Anya Kamenetz, Fabrizio Zilibotti, Raquel Lyra, Eleanne Plaizier, Rasa Dawson, Angela Uytdewilligen, Sarah Johnson, Mohammad Awamreh, Hatem AlHmoud, Laura Miller, Anna Devereux, Marianne Abboud, Te Aro Moxon, Rita de Cácia Oenning da Silva, Chian Gong, Patrice Martin, Maria Isabel Amando de Barros, Zarlasht Halaimzai, Lucas Johnson, Michael Feigelson, Tanmoy Goswami, Alexis Camejo, Hannah Rothschild, Charlotte Davidi Rushda Majeed Andrea Torres Sansotta Irina Ivan-van der Kwaak Daniella Ben-Attar Mialy Dermish (she/her) Leontien Peeters Farah Jadallah Claudia Vidigal Agnita Twigt 🌟
