NEW YORK (AP) — Shakira says being a mother has given her an even stronger connection to her favorite cause — early childhood development and education.
Shakira and soccer pro-partner Gerard Pique are the parents of 2-year-old Milan and 8-month-old Sasha.
On Thursday in New York, she and Fisher-Price debuted the Moms’ Hopes & Wishes Study and previewed a new app to assist teachers and educators. The study of 3,500 new and soon-to-be moms measured parental attitudes and approaches to early childhood development.
The 38-year-old performer launched a toy line with Fisher-Price last year. The new app she developed called “Grow” will feature 2,000 tips and will be available later this fall.
Shakira also is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and promoted early childhood development at the United Nations on Tuesday.
