We have developed poster exhibitions on holistic
child care in various regional languages. Simple poetic text,
relevant photographs and artworks explain to viewers the concept
of holistic child development and how parents, families and the
community can promote it. The posters also suggest plenty of
ways in which adults can interact with babies and toddlers, and
provide a stimulating environment for them.
A
handy and attractive set of 44 easy-to-display colourfully illustrated
posters, these can be used by field workers to convey important
child care messages directly to rural and urban families.
Designed to travel
to villages and small towns, this
portable exhibition can be staged indoors or outdoors, with the
accompanying hanging device. The exhibition can be accessed by
field-level NGOs working in early childhood care. It can also
form part of government schemes such as the Information-Education-Communication
(IEC) activities of the Integrated Child Development Services
(ICDS) and Reproductive and Child Health (RCH).
