Step-by-step explanation:
The pandemic has upended much of what we have in place to help kids thrive: child care, schools, mentoring, sports, the arts. From before birth through the early twenties, while children and youth are actively developing, these community resources and relationships remain absolutely essential.
The way we talk about young people now will shape whether response policies and restoration packages reflect the needs, concerns, and voices of the next generation. We need to get this right to boost—rather than break-our chances of sensible and science-informed approaches to early learning, education, and youth development.
