Early Childhood Relationships: The Foundation for a Sustainable Future
Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper opines that one effective way to construct a just and sustainable future is to pay attention to early childhood relationships; to ensure adequate care and development for all children and to teach them the kinds of knowledge, skills and values – such as empathy, sharing, respect for others, love for nature – that promotes sustainability from a very early age. This educational level of the child provides for the physical, motor, health, nutritional, intellectual, aesthetic, emotional and social development of the pre-school child. If child education can provide these vital necessities which are fundamental for a sustainable future, it is not therefore unlikely to have an important and strong relationship with the pupils’ performance at the primary school level and perhaps at the secondary and tertiary levels. In this paper also, early childhood relationship is viewed as humanity’s best hope and most effective means in the quest to achieve foundation for a sustainable future. In conclusion, education for a sustainable future requires establishing a new relationship among people and with the environment that sustains human life – a relationship that enables societies to pursue development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
