It is the sense of Congress that— it is time to build on the reduction in preventable child deaths worldwide achieved by focusing new efforts and attention on— saving children’s lives; and supporting the healthy development of children’s brains; methods of delivering parent training and education on nurturing care, such as the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting programs, could help other countries realize greater gains in early childhood development; negative early childhood experiences can obstruct lifelong health and opportunity; well-developed and inquisitive children are the global leaders of tomorrow; countries will only be able to reach and exceed their development goals if their youngest children get a strong start; and focused cross-sectoral coordination for promoting early childhood development is essential for the efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability of all early childhood development initiatives.
