Language acquisition is a critical developmental task in
early childhood that is promoted
by certain activities, including interacting with adults.7 - 9 In a prior study, we found an association between infant television or video viewing and delayed
language development.10 What factors might mediate this association is not entirely clear, however.
Early findings indicate the importance of dosage, as
language development scores were enhanced
by increased exposure to reading conversational sessions.
ECD programmes can take many forms, including promotion of good health and nutrition, support for safe and stimulating environments, protection from risks such as violence or abandonment, parenting support and
early learning experiences, media, preschools and community groups.4 Poverty is the key underlying cause of poor child
development; children living in poverty are exposed to many negative influences, including poor physical environments, inadequate nutrition, parental stress and insufficient cognitive stimulation.5 Undernutrition can influence brain
development directly
by affecting brain structure and function, or indirectly via poor physical or motor
development, in addition to other pathways.6 — 8 Exposure to multiple co-occurring risks most likely contributes to greater disparities in developmental trajectories among children with differential exposure.9 — 12 This paper focuses on associations between specific aspects of children's physical environments — access to improved water and sanitation (W&S)-- and childhood
development as measured
by performance on a test of receptive
language.
The idea that parents and caregivers might proactively build the rudiments of resilience is not without precedent.67, 68 Vygotsky suggested that the role of parents, caregivers, and teachers is to work within the child's zone of proximal
development so the child will learn to master skills that were previously beyond their independent ability.69 This is the theory behind both Reach Out and Read70, 71 and more recent efforts to decrease obesity
by nurturing the foundational motor skills needed for an active lifestyle.72 — 74 The current challenge, then, is for pediatricians, home visitors, and
early educators to collaboratively increase the capacity of caregivers and communities to nurture those rudimentary but foundational SE,
language, and cognitive skills as they emerge developmentally.
The first 5 years of life are critical for the

Early cognitive ability is, in turn, predictive of later school performance, educational attainment, and health in adulthood5 — 7 and may serve as a marker for the quality of early brain development and a mechanism for the transmission of future health inequalities.8 Early life represents a time period of most equality and yet, beginning with in utero conditions and extending through early childhood, a wide range of socially stratified risk and protective factors may begin to place children on different trajectories of cognitive development.

To date, the immediate and lasting positive effects of quality care on
language, cognitive
development, and school achievement have been confirmed
by converging findings from large, reasonably representative longitudinal studies and smaller, randomized trials with long - term follow - ups.1, 2,9 - 13 Contributors to this knowledge base include meta - analytic reviews of interventions and large longitudinal studies conducted in several countries.1, 2,14,15 Comprehensive meta - analyses now establish that effects of
early care decline, but do not disappear, and when initial effects are large, long - term effects remain substantial.1, 2 Null findings in cognitive and social domains in a few studies may reasonably be attributed to the limitations inherent to their designs, samples, and measures.

Moreover, these efforts should begin
early in
development, as children are likely to benefit most from supportive home environments during the formative years of rapid
language growth and learning.22, 62,63 Finally, interventions with parents that aim to support children's learning should attend to the cultural context of
early development when working with parents from different backgrounds, and also consider the broader social context of parenting
by attending to the barriers created
by poverty and low parental education.
Deaf children whose hearing losses were diagnosed
