Continuing the conversation on wellbeing, Early Childhood Matters 2025 dives deeper, featuring different perspectives: scientific, cultural, urban and more.
We need to talk about care: the needs of parents with young children often go unseen and unheard in public life and policy. They face growing pressure, are overworked, and their support systems are strained or disappearing. So what can we do to better support them?
The 2025 edition of Early Childhood Matters presents 34 compelling contributions that show how everyone can play a role in shaping a more caring society and rebuilding villages of support around parents.
Guided by those already leading the way, from neuroscientists to poets, and architects to trauma specialists, the 2025 issue offers bold, practical solutions that meaningfully support mothers, fathers and other caregivers, and the children they care for.
Because when we value and celebrate care, we create ripple effects that strengthen families, communities and societies for generations.
