I was very touched when I saw a breakthrough the other day.

Childhood trauma covers a huge spectrum.

Pre school educational application bundle

Look at France, 43 , or Denmark, over 60 .

Okay.

Now, I think it's fair to say that when people think about state and local economic development, they don't generally think first about what they're doing about childcare and early childhood programs.

The orphan was fostered by the wealthy man.

You sacrifice now for a return later.

All the discussions about flexi time or dress down Fridays or paternity leave only serve to mask the core issue, which is that certain job and career choices are fundamentally incompatible with being meaningfully engaged on a day to day basis with a young family.

Well, here's some sobering facts about parenting.

Flexible work arrangements are for men and women.

The infant has faith in his mother taking care of him.

I don't mean anything magical.

PlSA has transformed that debate, and pushed early childhood education right at the center of public policy in Germany.

One of the things that's very frustrating about this is that we know, by getting modern neonatal incubators into any context, if we can keep premature babies warm, basically it's very simple we can halve infant mortality rates in those environments.

Well, we took a construct from our pediatrician friends, the concept of growth charts you know, when you take a child to the pediatrician, and you have physical height and weight.

We will be able to have time to care for our elderly parents coming home as scheduled, while coordinating with home or respite care.

living wild, before being taken into care.

Only a handful of men want to take childcare leave.

He adopted a war orphan and is bringing her up as a foster daughter.

Education about birth control might help cut down on adolescent pregnancies.

We don't have time to check our kid's homework, so we depend on the After School Care program.

Look here you have to end poverty, education, gender, child and maternal health, control infections, protect the environment and get the good global links between nations in every aspect from aid to trade.

Sweden achieved a low child mortality because we started early.

It's a different idea, because usually, when people talk about early childhood programs, they talk about all the wonderful benefits for participants in terms of former participants, in preschool, they have better K 12 test scores, better adult earnings.

Good nutrition is vital for an infant's growth.

I like to say my favorite biomaterial is my four year old.

Since then, my husband's working schedule has dramatically changed.

An orphan at three, he was brought up by a distant relative.

You know, quantum mechanics these are cool things.

Well, back in 2001, when there was just a simple test and a single dose of a drug, a nurse, in the course of her few minutes with a patient, would have to counsel for the HlV test, perform the HlV test, explain the results, dispense a single dose of the drug, Nevirapine, explain how to take it, discuss infant feeding options, reinforce infant feeding, and test the baby in minutes.

Women can't balance their career and raising children.

A complementary finding, from a completely different methodology, is that adopted siblings reared together the mirror image of identical twins reared apart, they share their parents, their home, their neighborhood, don't share their genes end up not similar at all.

And I'm working at all the energy I have to sort of communicate this message that we need preschool, we need Head Start, we need prenatal care.

Good nutrition is vital for an infant's growth.

Could we build a neonatal incubator that's built entirely out of automobile parts?

Now, here is here is a representative quote from a besieged mother

On a low fat meal, the blood flow doesn't go down it even goes up.

And Pratham runs preschool play groups for, now, 21 million children in India.

And here you see a brain scan of two children one who had adequate nutrition, another, neglected and who was deeply malnourished.

But we already see a lot of diseases, especially once we get beyond our reproductive and our child rearing years.

On the other hand, other traits, like depression in men, or your preference for a particular political party, are more influenced by your environment than by your genes.

(Laughter) (Applause)

For the orphans?

Trouble.
