Kate Middleton Advocates for Early Childhood Development at Shaping Us Symposium

Princess of Wales Highlights Importance of First Five Years, Reveals Prince Louis' Use of 'Feelings Wheel' at School

Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, delivered the keynote speech at the Shaping Us National Symposium in London, where she emphasized the importance of early childhood in shaping individuals and society.
She revealed that her son, Prince Louis, and his classmates are using a 'feelings wheel' at school to help them express their emotions, highlighting the importance of mental health in children.
The Shaping Us campaign, launched by Kate in January under the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, aims to increase public understanding of the importance of the first five years of a child's life.
The campaign has initiated new research involving 21 countries worldwide, marking Kate's first collaboration with global leaders in this field.
The symposium brought together experts from various disciplines, including child development specialists, psychologists, and academics, to discuss the scientific, economic, and human cases for prioritizing early childhood.
