ABSTRACT: This
article intends to show that programs that intervene in early childhood
promoting health and the development of the children improve many aspects of
life, such as health, social, psychological, emotional, intelectual and
cognition aspects. The project—Our
Children: Windows of Opportunities—is an example of a program in Brazil
that has the potential to intervene in families from the pregnancy and during
the early childhood, strengthening the family potentials and assets so that the
families can overcome their needs.
