Foundations for Life: A Guide to Social and Emotional Development

Looking Ahead Supporting Change in The Early Years Sector 

Anita Frost, founder of the children's edutainment brand Green Bean Studios, applauds the Royal Foundation's new initiative supporting social-emotional development in young children.

This welcome move, highlighted by the launch of Foundations for Life: A Guide to Social and Emotional Development, is seen as critical for strengthening the early years system. The guide, developed in collaboration with early years experts and practitioners, emphasises the vital role of loving, responsive relationships and sets out why social and emotional development matters, detailing how these essential skills form from the earliest months.

Green Bean Studios, with its multifaceted brand of books, toys, and educational content featuring the character Green Bean, is dedicated to meeting children's emotional and social developmental needs. Frost believes that such action from the Royal family and institutions signals a necessary change. She anticipates that this increased accessibility to proper education for parents and professionals will allow for a collective effort to support young people who have struggled recently. Frost stresses that effective, "Ground Up" partnership and change are essential to setting children on a new, positive trajectory.
