Mapo-gu, Overcoming COVID-19 Project... 'Wise Family Life' Kit Gift

Color Clay, Glass Deco, Badminton, Weighing Scale, Ultrasonic Kidney Meter, and Other Kits

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Mapo-gu (Mayor Yoo Dong-gyun) is providing play kits and exercise kits to vulnerable children who have spent extended time at home due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Under the theme of "Wise Family Life," the district is delivering kits containing two types of play and exercise items appropriate for different ages?such as colored clay, glass deco, badminton, and foot jump rope?to 170 children under the care of Mapo Dream Start.

The kit also includes a scale and an ultrasonic height meter to monitor the children's growth during the home care period.

This kit support was planned to alleviate the parenting burden on exhausted parents caused by prolonged home care due to the spread of COVID-19 and to help children grow up in a safe and healthy environment.

Moreover, through various activities using the kit components, parents and children can spend time communicating together, strengthening family bonds.

The "Wise Family Life" kits will be delivered to each household via courier instead of in-person delivery to prevent the possible spread of infectious diseases.

In addition to providing these kits, Mapo Dream Start is conducting various programs to prevent and heal family relationship conflicts caused by COVID-19 blues, including online parenting education for child abuse prevention, mini garden cultivation, raising pet insects, and parenting coaching through the Enneagram.

Yoo Dong-gyun, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, "I hope the Wise Family Life kit gift will help guarantee the play rights of vulnerable children and relieve parents' parenting stress even a little. I also hope COVID-19 will end soon so that our children can enjoy activities and play freely in their daily lives."
