To succeed in high quality learning and fulfilling their individual needs to consist of the polices and practices within their school environment and throughout their lives. It spoke on the understanding, communication, nurturing, guidance, nutrition, health, support, respect in relationship to concentrate with others socially and emotionally in a school or home environment that will provide in a safe positive encouraging atmosphere. Why? It is important for the children and families to receive resources that will strengthen their lives in learning capabilities.  Furthermore, their well-being socially and emotionally by ensuring a secure and healthy high quality affective learning throughout their individual lives.

According to research “the main focus is to develop good health, strong family support and ensuring positive early learning experiences within their lives through out adulthood.” (Zero to Three: Center for Infants, Toddlers, and Families. (2010).

Furthermore, the main focus is to also establish polices and practices  and strong family support to provide mental and physical resources to help infants ad toddler’s to excel and retain and gain affective quality learning through out their earliest years of growth and development and through out their lives. Therefore, from zero –three years is the most critical time the growth and development of a infant and child brain to retain information and to grow up healthy and ready to learn too think, speak and reason. Furthermore, in order for a child during their first three years of life to experience the brain undergoes dramatic development that process how well a child think, speak and reason to have the  ability become socially and emotionally healthy and knowledgeable in school and through out their lives. In order words, the child life experience within a positive environment lays down the foundation of their capabilities of how their brain functions to become successful and skillful in academics. For instance, if the child life is impacted by healthy safe and positive learning environment then the child will grows up to be interesting in learning and will grow up to be a positive productive citizen within their community and society through out their individual lives within their community and society. According to research, “Our knowledge of the early years has been significantly enhanced by the incredible advances made by neuroscientists who have found that the way a baby reacts emotionally to how he or she is treated releases chemicals that affect his or her brain’s structure and functioning. In addition, when experiences fail to support an infant’s or toddlers biologically inherent desire to learn, grow, and succeed, “a child’s motivation diminishes, shifts, or finds problematic outlets.” (Zero to Three: National Center for Infants, Toddlers, and Families.

"SNAICC has expressed its concerns at the Australian Government’s plan to defund the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services (NATSILS) and the National Congress of Australia’s First Peoples. ... NATSILS said in a Media Release, the funding cuts will mean that even more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples will not be able to access essential legal services and will further entrench Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as second-class citizens in their own country. In further budget cuts, the National Family Violence Prevention and Legal Service (NFVPLS) is expecting to lose $3.5m in funding over the next three years. SNAICC has expressed its concerns at the Australian Government’s plan to defund the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services (NATSILS) and the National Congress of Australia’s First Peoples. Also, “The Government has also flagged that its funding for the National Congress of Australia’s First Peoples (Congress) will not continue beyond June 2014.”

I feel this is a very critical concern as far as the families who have children who rights need to be protected of their civil rights. If the Australian Government’s plan to cut the  funding of the people the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services (NATSILS) and the National Congress of Australia’s First Peoples will have more crimes and the children well-being will be effected by the Government decision. In other words their will be injustices and no social justices to protect the rights of the children and families who live in Australia.

According to “The Global Alliance for the Education of Young Children should be provided an opportunity for early childhood associations from countries throughout the world to distribute materials and share information about programs and services, so that members of the participating organizations will have access to a greater range of early childhood resources. Also, when experiences fail to support an infant’s or toddlers biologically inherent desire to learn, grow, and succeed, “a child’s motivation diminishes, shifts, or finds problematic outlets.” Therefore, ensuring that babies have good health, strong families, and positive early learning experiences will lay the foundation for success throughout their lives.”
