Getting to Know Your International Contacts—Part 2

The new insight I have gain from viewing the Global Children’s Initiative organization is that their project is geared to use the science of child health and development to guide stronger policies and larger investments to benefit young children and their families in Brazil (Center on the Developing Child, 2014). It is so important to look at all children holistically, while making sure their needs at met and to ensure they are getting the best care as possible. As an educator, I believe it is essential that understand a child’s needs and try to address them much as possible. The Center’s commitment to global work acknowledges the moral responsibility to meet the needs of all children, in an economic productivity, positive health outcomes, and strong civil society in all nations, from the poorest to the most affluent. One of the Center’s approaches is to work collaboratively across disciplines and institutions, drawing together the best and most creative expertise available to achieve the Initiative’s goals life (Center on the Developing Child, 2014).Their efforts are to build an international approach to child survival, health, and development in the earliest years of life (Center on the Developing Child, 2014).

I like the fact that there are help and support for children and their family through Global Children’s Initiative organization. I have also learn there are so many children and their family has various issues they are facing, however there a relief effort and plan to help children and their families to receive the help needed. I have learned about the strategies that are put in place to improve the policy between children well-being and good health. The article in the February 2012 issue of Pediatrics co-authored by Center Director Jack P. Shonkoff posits that new knowledge in the biological and social sciences offers a unifying framework that can inform innovative strategies to improve the child survival and early development as well as adult outcomes in health, learning, and behavior. The article calls for greater synergy across policy sectors related to child health and well-being, schooling, and economic development (Center on the Developing Child, 2014).
