It is so sad that the children and families — and the people who help provide the care for them — come last in the long list of “what to throw money at.”
In truth investing in families — and especially early learning — has always paid an incredible dividend, preventing untold subsequent challenges. A great case-in-point is of course nurse-family visitors, as was written about in the Department of Justice report.
Thank you!

So glad you wrote this piece and that you will be provoking us to discuss child flourishing monthly.
There is no topic more important or that lends, as myriad studies show, a greater return on investment in so many ways.
