- Developmental Responsibility™ is a new model for sustainable child development in which the developmental sensitivities of children are a reference point in day-to-day decision-making, not just by those who interact directly with children but by society-at-large, including individuals, corporations, non-government organizations, elected officials and public institutions.
- Union In Action seeks to position Developmental Responsibility as a social standard of behavior, language, strategy and policy, under which individuals, organizations, businesses and institutions are measured against standards of developmental appropriateness, with sensitivity to the dynamic nature of human development.
