Our sense of mattering—the feeling that we are valued and have value to add to the world—is a key ingredient for lifelong well-being, and it begins in the earliest days of infancy. While it’s never too late to build a sense of mattering, when we start early, we can have an outsized positive effect on children’s health and well-being across their lifespan.
In our new paper, co-authored with Jennifer B. Wallace, learn more about the science around mattering in early childhood, including what mattering means, the powerful effects of mattering on lifelong health and well-being, and strategies for building a sense of mattering in our children.
