“Cities can encourage support, such as frequency of responsive caregiver interactions and stimulating places to play and to explore. They can also take steps to ensure that caregivers are supported in the face of stressors that they face."-@VickyChavezB, @BvLFoundation

The executive course consisted of two phases. In the first (online) phase, participants had to define a problem and determine how behavioural science could help them with it. The second phase consisted of a one-week face-to-face module to define a tailor-made action plan.

Parents face a lot of pressure. That’s why #childhooddevelopment programmes should “nudge but not judge” & be built around what’s possible.

In #EarlyChildhoodMatters, BvLF CEO @mfeigelson1 shares how #behaviouralscience could transform caregiving.
