Today we are stopping in the municipality of San Pedro Yocopilas, in the Quiche department of Guatemala, where since the beginning of last year we have been running the "Opportunities to Change Life" project, allowing girls and boys under the age of to fully Enjoy your own blessings and rights and have the choice to fully develop your abilities. All actions of this project, which we implement together with CONACMI, are based on the Integrated Epidemic Care Strategy for Children (IMCI). Developed by the World Health Organization and UNICEF in , the strategy aims to reduce child mortality and morbidity from preventable diseases and seeks to enhance healthy child growth and development at family, community and institutional levels. Community-wide engagement All community agencies are therefore actively engaged to help eliminate deaths from preventable causes in boys and girls under years old, while reducing neonatal mortality and possible barriers to accessing health services. From family and community actors, to health personnel, teaching staff from the Ministry of Education and representatives of governmental and non-governmental institutions working in the care, prevention and protection of children. Because we seek full inclusion and participation, without gaps, in decision-making processes on issues that violate the rights of boys and girls. Solutions must be the result of joint efforts. In Quiche, although the general principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child impose obligations on the State and those responsible for the protection and care of children (to adopt healthy practices at the educational and family levels), the reality does not reflect this and the truth about families during the epidemic The problem of violence has become increasingly prominent. Child abuse, which violates physical, sexual and psychological integrity and personal safety, has become the norm. Furthermore, sexism and patriarchal relationships are common in many situations in the country, which is why the project raises gender concerns for equality and equity throughout the process (at family and community levels). The project pursues new parenting models in family settings to address common problems for boys and girls under five, including childhood malnutrition.
Furthermore, the strategy shifts the focus from routine care consultations to preventive surveillance and health promotion, based on every child's right to quality care. The First Five Years of Life We’ve talked a lot lately about the impo Chinese Overseas Asia Number Data rtance of the first few years of life. The first years are critical for the potential development of the brains of boys and girls. This is because during that period of life, the foundation of personality has been established and the quality of adult life has been determined. Children's comprehensive knowledge and overall development depend on the quality of care they receive at the family, educational and social levels during this period. We talked about the need to share with this childhood a relaxing environment where stimulation for attention was constant. Prioritize attachment, play and affection, and meet physical needs; i.e. provide food, hygiene and medical assistance when needed.
