And it is when we learn to understand ourselves, understand others and understand the world in which we live.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This is why it is essential, to not only understand the unique importance of our earliest years, but to know what we can all do to help raise future generations of happy, healthy adults.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The initiative is a long-term project of the Princess&#8217;s, beginning with how a child develops and the importance of the formative years.<\/p>\n<p>It will &#8216;explore in more depth the importance of a child&#8217;s social and emotional world&#8217; and the significance of relationships, &#8216;surroundings and experiences&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And of course, by understanding our own childhoods &#8211; what has shaped our own beliefs, relationships, behaviours and feelings &#8211;
