Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a disease that many families do not pay much attention because they do not believe that symptom is a disease but is a behavior. Real ADHD is related to genes, but unreal ADHD is related an environment and raising.
We discover that 310,000 Thai kids, from total 5 millions, grade 1-6, have an ADHD problem. If they do not receive medial treatment and behavior modification, 70% of them will stick this symptom when they are grown up. According to the Ministry of Public Health, 1 in 4 break traffic laws, and 1 in 10 use drugs or have a mental problem, leading to committing suicide.
According the works of a Sharing-Love Family group in the areas of children development and family, they believe that “playing” is an important process for children development, including autistic children (ADHD, autism, and physical disabilities), children who need behavior modification and social skills, and other children.
In our term, playing is to play with family, friends, nature and environment, moving your body, and for a society. Without barriers in gender, age, language, religious, culture, physical abilities, and brain, if kids can play, they will be happy, fun, willing to open their minds, want to play more and more, and continue development. In addition, they will be training to live with their peers.
Our project will invite kids and their families (15), including autistic children, children who have improper habits (aggressiveness, video game and cellphone addiction, and lack of social skills), and other children to play a parachute game, make a DIY toy by themselves, help each other to make a DIY toy, and then share (100 sets of a DIY toy) to special and disabled kids in remote areas.
