After reading the article Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, the global program focused on three strategic areas: it talked about how they plan to energize and reframe the global dialogue around child health beginning in the earliest years of life. They also plan to educate the key international agencies leadership by establishing a stronger framework for global work and conduct systematic communications to help identify a better way to translate the science for global policymakers of child development.
The article also talked about how they plan to generate new ideas that will help to address the health development needs of young children in several different ways and to focus on both individuals and institutions—in low- and middle-income countries to increase the number and influence of diverse voices and perspectives that are contributing to the growing global movement on behalf of young children.: The Center has begun to build a portfolio of different activities into three domains: early childhood development, child mental health, and children in crisis and conflict situations. Each domain is guided by a group of faculty who are working to facilitate continuing cross-disciplinary collaboration, design and implement new projects beyond the Harvard community.
I really enjoyed reading this particular article.

Thank you for sharing this information. It sounds like the global program is off to a great start with their portfolio which is addressing different domains of children. I would to like to know how their plans work out for them.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the three domains. They have summarized the major components of the field. It would be interesting to read about the ideas to generate health development among children. It will be especially reading about how American children compare in health development to the rest of the world. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that information, I was really impressed about the amount of activities this organization is doing for children and family. It was great to know how they are working with mental health to help children with issues in mental health, I think the organization is doing a wonderful job.
