Abstract

This report presents an accessible overview of the main concepts behind early child health and development. We summarise the goals of child healthy development in the concept that we call ‘Five by Five’. We describe the 5 basic developmental domains that are achieved in 5 stages. We describe a child centred system that supports the Five by Five, ranging from parenting to the main service support systems (health, schools, child care and early learning, child protection, and nongovernment organisations). Finally, we describe different barriers to effective parenting that may be experienced by caregivers, and provide a general introduction to the types of service responses that might better support achieving Five by Five for all children.
