When we talk about early childhood, we often focus on the child. But what about the person caring for them?
👀 Read our blog where Sindy González, Early Childhood Manager at FEMSA Foundation, argues that caring for those who care is the foundation of child development. Caregivers facing stress, poverty, and a lack of support cannot fully provide the responsive care children need to thrive. This is a critical issue, particularly in Latin America, where poverty and systemic challenges create an emotional and physical burden.
