Parent Coaching in first 1,000 Days: Learnings from India

Parent Coaching in the First 1000 Days is a transformative initiative aimed at improving Early Childhood Development (ECD) outcomes by supporting families during the most critical phase of a child’s life in the first 1000 days. The first 1000 days from conception to a child’s second birthday are foundational for lifelong health, learning, and well-being. Responsive caregiving, proper nutrition, and early stimulation during this period can significantly shape a child’s future. Aligned with the Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK), we aim to strengthen systems and empower communities to give every child the best start in life.
