» One of the most important things a society can do is raise the next generation of children to be all they can be. Children who get the best start in life, who are fed properly, who learn to play and whose brains are pushed to reach their potential are more likely to develop into successful, intelligent adults. It begins in the womb, with a mother's diet affecting brain development, and continues most crucially in the early years when motor skills are learned and behaviour is formed. It is incumbent on parents, communities and national governments to provide children with the same opportunities to succeed.
