In the early years of life, children's interactions with the physical and social environment- including families, schools and communities-play a defining role in developmental trajectories with long-term implications for their health, well-being and earning potential as they become adults. Importantly, failing to reach their developmental potential contributes to global cycles of poverty, inequality, and social exclusion. Guided by a rights-based approach, this narrative review synthesizes selected studies and global initiatives promoting early child development and proposes a universal intervention framework of child-environment interactions to optimize children's developmental functioning and trajectories.
在生命的早期，儿童与物理和社会环境的互动——包括家庭、学校和社区——在发展轨迹中起着决定性的作用，对他们成年后的健康、幸福和收入潜力有着长期的影响。重要的是，未能发挥他们的发展潜力会导致全球贫困、不平等和社会排斥的循环。本叙述性综述以基于权利的方法为指导，综合了一些促进儿童早期发展的研究和全球倡议，并提出了一个普遍的儿童与环境互动的干预框架，以优化儿童的发展功能和轨迹。
