Poor brain development in the global South? Challenging the science of early childhood interventions

Gabriel Scheidecker et al.

Summary: Global Early Childhood Development (ECD) has become a key focus in international development, aiming to improve the brain structure and function of future generations in the global South. However, existing ECD literature excludes research from anthropology, cultural psychology, and related fields, which could provide crucial insights about childrearing and children's development in the targeted communities. We encourage anthropologists and scholars with ethnographic expertise on childhood to critically engage with global ECD and make ethnography more relevant.

Parents, Caregivers, and Peers Patterns of Complementarity in the Social World of Children in Rural Madagascar

Gabriel H. Scheidecker et al.

Summary: Research on childhood in anthropology and neighboring disciplines has expanded the understanding of young children's development by including a wider range of social partners. Rather than focusing solely on parents, a complementarity view suggests that different social partners provide equally significant experiences for children. This view is based on an ethnographic study in a rural community in Madagascar, which highlights the importance of caregivers in meeting physical needs and maintaining emotional calm, as well as the crucial role of other young related children in play, face-to-face interaction, and intense emotional exchange. These complementary roles lead to the formation of two distinct socioemotional modes: a hierarchical one and an egalitarian one.
