This is to follow the royal initiati ve and royal aspiration about developing the quality of life of the people to live happily, hoping that the future of the nation will grow with quality and be an important force to develop Thailand. The starting point of the gift box that was launched was an extension of the 'Gift Bag' policy for newborns that the Thai Rak Thai government had implemented 19 years ago. The core of the gift bag policy is giving gifts to create development in the early stages of birth based on the brain (Brain Based Learning), enhancing development in both tactile and emotional learning. Ms. Paethongtarn also said that on this auspicious day, the Pheu Thai Party and the private sector have taken the opportunity to develop the 'Gift Bag' policy, still following the concept of brain-based learning (Brain Based Learning) in collaboration with experts in knowledge development to keep up with the times, resulting in the 'Gift Box' policy, which contains items to help parents use to enhance their infants' development to grow appropr iately for their age. The items in the gift box include wooden toys that enhance development, story books, soft books, child diaries or a tool set called '7 Ways to Develop Children at the Right Age, Healthy Brains with EF', a guide to raising children aged 0-3 years old in the style of Japanese mothers, and baby swaddles. With this collaboration, the gift box is a gift that will help parents take care of and develop their children's learning skills completely. Mr. Surawong said that the delivery of the 'Gift Boxes' to the children and their parents will be given to the newborns under the cooperation with the Ministry of Public Health. The provincial public health office will collect the names of children born on July 28 and will deliver the 'Gift Boxes' to mothers and children nationwide at hospitals on July 29. However, in Bangkok, parents or relatives can come to receive them at the Pheu Thai Party headquarters (Phetchaburi Road) on July 29-30 by submitting the birth certificate from the hospital. After July 31, you can contact the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration for more information.
