The Royal Foundation is proud to support the launch of a new film series from the Centre for Early Childhood, designed to illustrate the science behind early social and emotional development.
Based on the Shaping Us Framework the series explores how experiences from pregnancy to age five shape wellbeing, and how loving, responsive relationships lay the foundation for the social and emotional skills that help us in adulthood.
Created for professionals and volunteers working with families, the animations come with supporting resources to help enable meaningful conversations with parents and carers. They are also available in Welsh and British Sign Language, with hand-drawn linework and papercraft animation to make key concepts feel accessible and engaging.
Her Royal Highness, The Princess of Wales, worked closely with early years practitioners and illustrators from around the world throughout the development of the series, which is now being used by over 20 organisations to support their work with children and families.
Together, these tools aim to deepen public understanding of early childhood and support a healthier, happier society for future generations.
