Our early childhood, the time from pregnancy to the age of five, fundamentally shapes the rest of our lives. But as a society, we currently spend much more of our time and energy on later life.?

Today, the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood is launching a new campaign “Shaping Us” to raise awareness of the life-changing impact we can have when we build a supportive, nurturing world around children and those who care for them.?

Because by focusing our collective time, energy and resources on these most preventative years, we can make a huge difference to the physical and mental health and happiness of generations to come.?

I'm delighted to be supporting Children's Mental Health week yet again and it's lovely to be here at St John's Primary School. It's been wonderful to speak to so many children here about the importance of connections and the important people in their lives too.

The project while working is connecting with others. And why is that important do you think？ Connecting a leases our motion to your other people that you care about.

Absolutely, and it helps you feel positive things?doesn’t it makes you feel like you've got relationships and people in your life that matter. Who is also special in your lives??Friends. Your friends.
