#BABY'S DAY OUT MOVIE#

Construction Zone Calamity: A movie such as this isn't complete without this cliche.PHA, Dog Ears and Bang on the Door have collaborated very successfully in the production of this board book, embodying the creative connection that City of Culture is aiming to foster during 2013 and beyond. ItвЂ™s wonderfully written and illustrated and really gives a flavour of what our city is about in this very special year. BabyвЂ™s Day Out is sure to be big hits in households throughout the city.Д¬ulture Company 2013 Cultural Programmer Claire McDermott said: вЂњThis beautiful book is one that children can treasure for years to come. The board books are a lovely keepsake for all the babies born in 2013 and feature lovely illustrations from Bang on The Door. Beautiful in design and with wonderful local features it should be a welcome gift to every family in this City of Culture year.вЂќДog Ears is delighted to host the official launch of the beautiful board book BabyвЂ™s Day Out. Over and above all that it is a very special book. вЂњTodayвЂ™s book launch is a part of the TrustвЂ™s continued work in this area and its recently launched childrenвЂ™s Emotional Wellbeing Strategy, Northern IrelandвЂ™s first. вЂњThe book also ties into a targeted poster campaign which focuses on the five core areas of вЂNo smoking or drinking alcohol during pregnancyвЂ™, вЂBreastfeed your babyвЂ™, вЂRead a story to your child every dayвЂ™, вЂGive your child lots of love, affection and praiseвЂ™ and вЂHave fun and play with your child.вЂ™ вЂњThis book is reflective of the continued efforts being made by the Western Trust through its Infant Mental Health Strategy, which was launched in 2011, to improve the future for every child. Mr Gerard Guckian, Chair of the WHSCT, said: вЂњThe focus of this book is to reinforce the family unit, and in particular parents and the important role they play in creating a positive environment through which infants can flourish. 'These benefits will stretch beyond health to educational attainment, employment, and reducing numbers entering the criminal justice system.вЂќ We hope the children and parents treasure the book but more importantly use it to trigger a culture of reading within the home that will lead to learning and enrichment in the future. вЂњThis book helps by ensuring that parents have the right advice and support to help give their babies the best start in life in a meaning and innovative way. We wanted to support an initiative that would develop a culture of reading, learning but also including issues such as parent and child bonding, this book was a unique opportunity to do all three. What happens in the early stages of life, and in particular before a child enters school, will impact significantly on their growth and development throughout their school years and also their long term health, wellbeing and life chances.Д«rendan Bonner continued: вЂњBabyвЂ™s Day Out is part of the PHAвЂ™s Extraordinary PeopleвЂ™s project, our commitment to delivering on the legacy from the City of Culture initiative. вЂњThe care provided by parents and the wider family circle gives young children the best possible foundation for a thriving future.вЂќ The book features a story about a child visiting the city and learning about the fascinating things it has to offer, and is being launched at the RhymeTime session as part of the Humdinger! Children's Book Festival, one of several City of Culture events taking place during 2013.Д«rendan Bonner, Head of Health & Social Wellbeing Improvement Team at the PHA explained: вЂњEvery child born in 2013 in the Western Health and Social Care Trust (WHSCT) area will be gifted with the specially commissioned book to encourage parents and children to embrace books and reading together from day one. The importance of providing children with the best possible start in life will be highlighted today at the launch of the вЂBabyвЂ™s Day OutвЂ™ book in the Central Library, Derry~Londonderry.
