Advocacy
The political nature of teaching can also be realized through early childhood pro fessionals acting as advocates for young children. An advocate is someone who pleads the cause of another. Early childhood professionals are in a strong position to advance children's needs and rights within the wider community as they have a specialized knowledge of child growth and development and work at the interface with young children. For these reasons, they can act as a conduit for children's concerns and needs to be aired in contexts that many children and their families would not normally have access to, for example, legislators, government departments, and politicians. They are also in a strong position to promote these causes successfully by framing issues in terms of their relevance to children's short- and long-term In this way, can help to influence public attitudes towards young children and the resources that will be allocated to them.

It further requires that we highlight the broader issues that impact on children's growth and development and the concerns that children and families bring with them into early childhood settings to a wider audience
