The Executive Summary of the report Listening to Mindsets: Cultural Mindsets of Early Childhood in Australia provides an 8-page summary of interim findings from research exploring how people across Australia think about the early years and the ideas that shape public understanding of children, families and development.

The Executive Summary is designed as a simple reference for people who are interested in incorporating these early insights into their communication and narrative strategy to improve outcomes for young children.

Three summary tables provide insight into the productive and unproductive mindsets that emerged in the qualitative research, definitions of the mindsets, and strategies for advancing and avoiding the mindsets: 

1. Table 1: Challenges in public thinking
2. Table 2: Opportunities in public thinking
3. Table 3: Key similarities and differences across demographic groups
