Make child/human development courses MANDATORY for ALL parents/expecting parents who receive government assistance, as well as those who have private insurance in order to have medical coverage for the pregnancy and/or child(ren). Insurance providers would be responsible for the expense of the course.
Why is this important?
How many children's lives would be saved/protected if more parents were EDUCATED about the stages of development?

Many children's lives and livelihoods would be spared. There would be fewer children with disabilities, in special education classes, in counseling, living in fear. The cycle of abuse would be broken.
The requirement would also save money. By reducing the number of physical abuse cases, the costs associated with them would also go down:
CPS cases and EVERYTHING associated with them; ASTRONOMICAL medical expenses, public defenders, court costs, foster care, etc.
An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.
