If there is one person who is consistently and evidently working toward the resolution they set for themselves at the beginning of the year, it is the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton. The princess has dedicated herself to bettering the mental health conditions in Britain. And she has concluded that creating a loving and supportive environment for a child to grow up in, during the fundamental years, is how we can grab the problem by the jugular. But Kate Middleton is not just giving speeches that look good on the surface level, she is also getting workplaces involved.

Previously as the Duchess of Cambridge, Middleton has worked towards solving problems, financial and mental, that pull families apart. And in 2023, as she works towards spreading awareness about the importance of the early childhood years, she is once again pinning focus on the struggles in a parent’s life that could potentially ruin the early years of a child. And she is putting out a call for action.

Kate Middleton campaigns for parents who need workplace support

As Kate Middleton continues her remarkable efforts toward the improvement of mental health, she is putting a special focus on the early years of development. While many marveled at her drive, others pointed out that as the cost of living is at an all-time high, it is almost impossible to raise a child with the support of both parents.

Although it is unclear whether Middleton read the comments but she wrote about setting up a business task force to figure out a way to “prioritize early childhood,” in her Financial Times article where Middleton talks about investing in early childhood. She stressed on the need to “invest in early childhood now,” and stated her reasons for the same.

This is a great step by the Princess of Wales, who is not just talking about ways to improve the early years of childhood but also working towards it. Middleton highlighted how there are 76% of mothers and 92% of fathers in the workforce of the United Kingdom. Concluding that support of the workplace is absolutely necessary for a problem-free development of early childhood.

To work on this cause, Middleton recently started the Shaping Us campaign.

Is Shaping Us successful?

Kate Middleton’s Shaping Us campaign for early childhood development was announced on the 31st of January. Since then, the princess, along with her team, has talked to various healthcare centers, parents, and more. While clear data on its workings are not released yet, netizens have already posted their reviews on social media platforms.

While they have appreciated her thoughtfulness, they have also pointed out how a remarkable child support plan has been ‘Sure Start’ has been stopped in a political move. But it has only been a few months since the campaign started, and hopefully, it flourishes and helps in the betterment of the early years of childhood.
