Medical - Medical (general) / child development
Portuguese term or phrase: somatórias (in this context)
Could this mean "which, taken together, ..."?

Isso significa que a criança precisa ter ao seu redor condições que a estimulem a se desenvolver em toda sua potencialidade. Essas condições podem ser humanas, ou seja, pessoas que promovam de forma positiva essa interação; e físicas, como moradia, parques, creches e escolas, que lhe permitam viver experiências diferentes e **somatórias** que lhes dê proteção, estímulo e a sensação de conquistas e realizações.

fulfilling


Explanation:
My take on this sentence is that they want the children to be fulfilled in order to develop self esteem and a positive attitude.

Additional research by Harvard University’s Center for Society and Health points to the importance of social connectedness. Researchers indicate that social isolation is a chronically stressful condition that has a direct biological effect on the body (Berkman, 1995). Creating strong networks , promoting partnerships between youth and adults, and developing social institutions that support the creation of fulfilling experiences at each stage of life can improve the social health of individuals and communities.

somatório
well rounded


Explanation:
Yet another suggestion for you!

Somatório = indicativo de soma, which comes from the verb somar

Somar = fazer a soma de; importar em; reunir, resumir.

Thus, I think well-rounded is a good solution, given that it means "fully or broadly developed" e.g. having a broad educational background (schools that turn out well-rounded students) or "comprehensive" (a well-rounded program of activities) (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=wel...

Thus, your sentence would end up something like "to have diverse, well-rounded experiences..."

Good luck!
