On a crucial day for kids in Britain, Kate Middleton kept her own kids close.
The Duchess of Cambridge marked a turning point a years in the making on Friday, June 18: the launch of The Royal Foundation Center for Early Childhood. Having invested much of the last 10 years as a royal concentrated on psychological health advocacy, the mom of 3 assessed getting to this next action.
“My own journey into understanding the importance of early childhood actually started with adults and not with children. It was about prevention,” she described in a video shared online. “I wanted to understand what more we could do to help prevent some of today’s toughest social challenges and what more we could to help with the rising rates of poor mental health.”
After her numerous discussions with specialists—from moms and dads to neuroscientists—”what has become clear,” she stated, “is that the best investment for our future happiness is in the first five years of life.”
