የተመረጡ እውነታዎች:-
ሕጻናትና ጨዋታ:-
ጨዋታ አስደሳች ገቢር ብቻ አይደለም። ጨዋታ ለእያንዳንዱ ልጅ ጤናማ እድገት መሠረታዊ ጉዳይ ነው። ይሁን እንጁ ባሳለፍነው 2024 ዓ.ም በብዙ ሚሊዮኖች የሚቆጠሩ ልጆች እየተጫወቱ የመማር ተፈጥሯዊ ፀጋን ማጣጣም አልቻሉም ነበር፤

- 138 ሚሊዮን የሚሆኑ ሕጻናት ጉልበታቸው ተበዝብዟል፤
- 54 ሚሊዮን የሚሆኑ ደግሞ ጤናቸውን፣ ደህንነታቸውን እና እድገታቸውን አደጋ ላይ በጣሉ አደገኛ ሥራዎች ተሰማርተው ነበር፤
- ከ5 ዓመት በታች ከሆኑ ሕጻናት መካከል ከ7 አንዱ በቤቱ አሻንጉሊቶች ወይም መጫወቻ እቃዎች አልነበሩትም፤
- ከ2-4 ዓመት እድሜ ካላቸው ሕጻናት መካከል ከ5ቱ አንዱ በቤት ውስጥ ከአሳዳጊዎቹ ጋር አይጫወቱም ነበር፤
- ከቅርብ የቤተሰብ አባላት ጋር ከነበራቸው የመጫዎት እድል ከአባቶቻቸው ጋር የነበረው እድል በሁለት እጅ ያነሰ ነበር።
- ከ2-4 ዓመት እድሜ ውስጥ ከሚገኙ 10 ልጆች 4ቱ በቤት ካሉ ተንከባካቢዎች ጋር አነቃቂ ተግባራት አይሰሩም ነበር።

ሕጻናት እየተጫወቱ ይማራሉ፣ በራስ መተማመን ያገኛሉ፣ የሕይወት ክህሎት ያዳብራሉ፣ ድምፃቸውን ከፍ አድርገው በማሰማት የወደፊት ሕይወታቸውን ያስተካክላሉ።

መልካም፣ መልካሙን ለሕጻናት!
