Unicef launches campaign for childhood development

Unicef Thailand launched the "Best Start: The First Six Years of Life are the Golden Years for Children" campaign Friday to raise awareness about the importance of early childhood development and to encourage parents to invest more in their young children

“The first six years of a child’s life are critical. This is when the brain develops most rapidly,” Valerie Taton, deputy representative for Unicef Thailand, said. “This period provides us with a onetimeonly window of opportunity to ensure that a child develops to its fullest potential. 
It is during this crucial period that the foundations for lifelong learning and development are laid.”
