The History of Child Care in the US Questions

 

I’m working on a other discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

The prevailing way of talking about children and families in the U.S. focuses on parents. Are they making the right choices? Are they really trying to do the right thing for their children? If parents only “knew better” or had the grit, discipline, and determination to make the right choices, their children would do better. But families don’t live in a bubble.

Answer the following questions:

Why are the early years so important for brain development? Where does the U.S. rank among rich nations in terms of child well-being? What do studies by economists tell us about investing in the early years?
