This study indicates that both mothers and families could benefit from availability of ECD-friendly resources such as homemade toys and children's books (particularly for low-income families), and tailored messaging to support early stimulation activities for both girl and boy children and for those prematurely-born. Local governments and community-based programs can aim to both raise awareness about the importance of early childhood development and educate caregivers on specific age-appropriate early stimulation activities that promote optimal growth. Future research should also explore the reciprocal and temporal relationships between maternal mental health and early stimulation activities to inform and elucidate their potential synergistic impact on ECD
