Child in First Place. Always.

It is during early childhood and in the home environment with mature parents, the best opportunity for a child to develop and become a healthy adult.

DID YOU KNOW?

Adults who suffered violence (physical, sexual and emotional) as children have:

7x more likely to be involved in interpersonal violence as a victim or aggressor;
30x more likely to attempt suicide;
14x (for men) more likely to commit physical and sexual violence against an intimate partner;
16x (for women) more likely to suffer physical and sexual violence from an intimate partner;
Children aged between 11 and 15 years old who are bullied during school are 13% less likely to graduate from school;

According to the Núcleo Ciência Pela Infância (NCPI), it is estimated that data on Violence against children may be under-registered and under-reported and, therefore, may be worse than official records.

Throughout their lives, children exposed to violence are at greater risk of developing psychological illnesses such as anxiety disorders; engage in harmful behavior such as alcohol and drug abuse, smoking and unsafe sex; chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease; infectious diseases such as HIV; and social problems, including low education, violent behavior and crime.

Did you know that the brain is almost entirely developed in early childhood. Many studies indicate that there is a huge window of opportunity at this stage. Did you know that quality, loving and caring interactions positively affect a child’s brain. On the contrary, negative interactions and mistreatment harm children’s development.
