Raising Parents Episode 1: Early childhood is a critical period in children’s development. It requires parenting and family support to ensure that every child can have the best start in life, setting a foundation for healthy development, life-long learning and social cohesion.

Many parents don’t get the time and support they need to be with their children. Family-friendly policies, such as paid parental leave, breastfeeding breaks and childcare, are not a reality for most new parents around the world.

The UNICEF Parenting web portal is designed to provide parents and caregivers with relevant information to give their children the best start in life. In this context, UNICEF has been collaborating with the LEGO Foundation since 2015 to raise awareness about the importance of nutrition, protection, and stimulation, including play, for healthy brain development in the earliest years of life.
