Kate Middleton believes that the earlier you educate your child, the better. In fact, the Duchess of Cambridge recently made it clear that she believes early childhood development is just as important as climate change.
The Duchess made the statement while pledging to “transform lives” for future generations while launching her Centre for Early Childhood. The center will be run by her and Prince William’s charitable foundation, The Royal Foundation. Here’s what you need to know.
Kate Middleton has been working on early childhood education for the past decade and she believes that there is a link to the societal problems of addiction, poor mental health, violence and homelessness in adults to their development years as young children.
Kate Middleton Says Early Childhood Development Just As Important As Climate Change
A royal aide close to the Duchess of Cambridge says that she believes the issue “is not discussed with the same seriousness or strategic intent” as climate change and she is now on “a mission… so that she can help position this work with that sort of importance.”
In a video message, the royal mother-of-three says, “My own journey into understanding the importance of early childhood actually started with adults, and not with children. It was about prevention. I’ve spoken to psychiatrists and neuroscientists, to practitioners and academics and parents alike, and what has become clear is that the best investment for our future health and happiness is in the first five years of life.”
In the report, Big Change Starts Small, the Duchess of Cambridge wrote: “What shapes our childhood shapes the adults and the parents we become. Our first five years lay important foundations for our future selves. This period is when we first learn to manage our emotions and impulses, to care and to empathize, and thus ultimately to establish healthy relationships with ourselves and others.”
