Experiences in the first 1000 days of life have a crucial influence on child development and health.1 Appropriate early child development (including physical, social and emotional, language and cognitive domains) has consistently been shown to be associated with good health and educational outcomes in childhood and consequent health and employment outcomes in adulthood.2 — 4 Adopting a life course approach, including early intervention, is essential, 5 and investment is therefore needed in effective prenatal and postnatal services to optimise child health, well - being and developmental resilience.6

The clear social gradient associated with children's vocabulary, emerging literacy, well - being and behaviour is evident from birth to school entry.1 These trajectories track into adolescence and correspond to poorer educational attainment, income and health across the life course.2 — 10 Neuroimaging research extends the evidence for these suboptimal trajectories, showing that children raised in poverty from infancy are more likely to have delayed brain growth with smaller volumetric size of the regions particularly responsible for executive functioning and language.11 This evidence supports the need for further effort to redress inequities that arise from the impact of adversity during the potential developmental window of opportunity in early childhood.

In humans, both the HPA system and the autonomic nervous system show developmental changes in infancy, with the HPA axis becoming organized between 2 and 6 months of age and the autonomic nervous system demonstrating relative stability by 6 to 12 months of age.63 The HPA axis in particular has been shown to be highly responsive to child - caregiver interactions, with sensitive caregiving programming the HPA axis to become an effective physiological regulator of stress and insensitive caregiving promoting hyperreactive or hyporeactive HPA systems.17 Several animal models as well as human studies also support the connection between caregiver experiences in early postnatal life and alterations of autonomic nervous system balance.63 - 65 Furthermore, children who have a history of sensitive caregiving are more likely to demonstrate optimal affective and behavioral strategies for coping with stress.66, 67 Therefore, children with histories of supportive, sensitive caregiving in early development may be better able to self - regulate their physiological, affective, and behavioral responses to environmental stressors and, consequently, less likely to manifest disturbed HPA and autonomic reactivity that put them at risk for stress - related illnesses such as asthma.

One Colorado study showed that paraprofessional home visiting, when combined with an early - intervention program focused on children with developmental delays, resulted in improved involvement with the program.25 In North Carolina, the combination of a public health department's home - visiting program with links into private physician's offices was helpful in overcoming personal and structural barriers to care.43 The Commonwealth Fund's Healthy Steps intervention included home visiting by masters - level healthy development specialists with significant gains in the quality of well - child care, although the multifactorial nature of this intervention made it difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of the home - visiting component.44 — 46 A South Carolina study showed that a program that linked school - based home visitors to group well - child visits resulted in greater retention of anticipatory guidance and improved satisfaction with care.47

Compelling challenges include (1) the need for more extensive training for all health professionals on the adverse effects of excessive stress on the developing brain, as well as on the cardiovascular, immune, and metabolic regulatory systems (the technical report23 is a start); (2) the significant constraints on existing, office - based approaches to fully address the new morbidities effectively; (3) the relatively limited availability of evidence - based strategies, within the medical home and across the full array of existing early childhood service systems, that have been shown to reduce sources of toxic stress in the lives of young children or mitigate their adverse consequences35; and (4) the financial difficulties associated with the incorporation of evidence - based developmental strategies into the pediatric medical home.

As research across neuroscience, developmental psychology, and economics demonstrates, early social - emotional, physical, and cognitive skills beget later skill acquisition, setting the groundwork for success in school and the workplace.15 However, an analysis of nationally representative data shows that 65 percent of child care centers do not serve children age 1 or younger and that 44 percent do not serve children under age 3 at all.16 Consequently, child care centers only have the capacity to serve 10 percent of all children under age 1 and 25 percent of all children under age 3.17 High - quality child care during this critical period can support children's physical, cognitive, and social - emotional development.18 Attending a high - quality early childhood program such as preschool or Head Start is particularly important for children in poverty or from other disadvantaged backgrounds and can help reduce the large income - based disparities in achievement and development.19
