International Child Development

I was unable to establish an international contact for Child Development, so I have researched the Global Children's Initiative website. I have found many interesting things on this website about child development in many other places around the world. The Global Children's Initiative is committed to global work, and they strive to find the needs of the children and create ways to meet the needs. They have created many different programs throughout the world. They have several different links and resources available on their website that can be informational to all people who have a desire to help others, to learn about others, or research different ideas.

The Global Children's Initiative is launching a program in Brazil to create stronger policies for the children and families in Brazil, as well as to educate the people of Brazil on the importance of understanding Child Development. The Global Children's Initiative will be working with other local agencies to achieve their goals. Some of the things they will be doing is "building a scientific agenda and community of scholars around early childhood development, synthesizing and translating scientific knowledge for application to social policy. This will include working with the center's longtime partner organization, frameworks institute, to effectively communicate the science of child development in the Brazilian cultural context. Strengthening leadership around early childhood development through an executive leadership course for policy makers. Translating and adapting the Center's existing print and multimedia resources for a Brazilian audience" (retrieved from the Global Children's Initiative Website).
