Problem: The pandemic has shed light on the significance of our surroundings, including our environment and the people we interact with on a daily basis. How has the topic of nurture (our environment/interactions) impacted early child development? Consider childcare, childcare facilities, pre-K classrooms, access to space, pregnancy/birth, etc. when discussing this topic. Review current research surrounding the pandemic and how this research informs us of the impact of the theme of nurture on development OR even expecting mothers. How have these populations been affected by the environment? What interventions do you think would benefit parents and children moving forward?
Where do you think our researchers should focus on going forward?
