We should effect systematic changes in societal values and elevate the importance and commitment for parenting infants and toddlers. We should establish a new resolve in all parts of society to embrace the importance of establishing an early learning environment from which children emerge actively engaged and continually developing skills conducive to lifelong learning. We hold these truths to be self evident, that all children are born with certain inalienable rights, among these are a safe home, caring parents, access to healthcare, an educable mind, and an optimistic outlook on life. As the most helpless beings of all humanity and the most underrepresented citizens we have, it is a fundamental obligation that all children be raised in a safe haven, free from physical and psychological mistreatment. Children should be protected from violence and abuse, be provided proper nutrition, given unlimited love, and be encouraged to pursue life in as ambitious a way as possible.
Children deserve to have the consistent and loving attention of their parents.
Parents have children and should accept all the responsibilities entailed. Parents should be actively engaged in parenting during a part of each and every day, providing encouragement, support, discipline, and love. Quality child care should be provided when the parents are unavailable. Parents should fashion a quality environment by relying on an appropriate mix of personal, family, community and government agency support. A healthy child grows and develops with greater ease.
