Nutrition: Policymakers should 1) consider the actual funds required to ensure that infants and young children are receiving adequate nutrients required for healthy growth and development and 2) re-examine the efficiency of the existing federal programs in providing sufficient food options for families in poverty.

Parenting: Policymakers should consider investing federal funds into existing intervention programs that focus on strengthening the attachment between caregiver and child.

Mental Health: Policymakers should consider 1) providing federal funds to low-income families in ensuring quality accessibility to mental health care and 2) tax benefits for healthcare systems that prioritize mental health in pediatric care.
