| Summary: | Connecting well-being with children's education, their earning potential, and their healthcare are critical, as the United States falls behind other modern nations in productivity and educational proficiency. Beginning with the limitations or absence of health-care, low quality education and supportive communities, we suggest ways that our children can begin to be prepared, healthy and participative in a productive society. Clear associations abound between quality of life, physical health, psychological well-being and social interactions. Positive environments, including a supportive home life, good health care and appropriate schooling, create connections to self, home, community and beyond. A child's welfare is directly connected to the conditions of home, school and health. Each is a determinant of growth and development, sustainability or reliance. |
