Early years experts launch campaign to 'save childhood'

A new website has been launched to promote a campaign by early years experts to save childhood.

The Save Childhood Movement expands upon Open Eye’s Saving Childhood Network, which was set up last October following the publication of ‘Too much, too soon?’ by Dr Richard House.

It has been launched in response to concerns of an ‘erosion of childhood’ in modern culture, and aims to bring together a team of experts to consolidate relevant research and protect and promote children’s natural development and learning.

Behind the movement is Wendy Ellyatt, founder of the Unique Child Network, Child psychotherapist Dr Richard House, from the University of Roehampton, and Kim Simpson, co-founder of the Early Childhood Action Group.
