Greetings! Exploring the Global Children’s Initiative website,
I found some interesting information. The Global Children’s Initiative provides
support to research activities led by affiliated faculty members of the Center
who work closely with researchers and institutions in low- and middle-income
countries around the world. Each project has fostered interdisciplinary
collaboration to generate new evidence and insights about how child development
unfolds in diverse cultural contexts. According to the Center for the
Developing child, it is estimated that 200 million children fail to reach their full developmental potential by
age five. There were many interesting and informative stories from around the
world that was fascinating. For instance:
In Canada, the Alberta Family Wellness
Initiative supports
research in early brain and biological development, mental health, and
addiction, and translates that
research for policy makers, healthcare communities, and the public.
In Mexico, Aceleradora
de Innovación para la Primera Infancia, one of the Latin American Innovation Clusters, is anchored in Monterrey at the Universidad Regiomontana, a
pioneering institution at the forefront of an extensive urban revitalization
effort.
Saving brains initiative tries to find ways to seeks to enhance outcomes for children
living in poverty through interventions that nurture and protect early brain
development before the child turns three years old.
Good information this week!
