Abstract
The objectives of this study were 1) to conduct a situation analysis of non-parental care for young children, and 2) to propose an innovative non-parental care approach that enhances attachment with young children under two years old. Participatory action research method was used in the study. Data collection was conducted in 2 phases. Phase 1 included a survey, home visits, and focus groups. Phase 2 was the development of a non-parental care innovative approach to enhance attachment. There were 264 samples of non-parental care for young children from four regions of Thailand and 27 officers involved. The findings were as follows: 1) Most care providers were grandmothers; non-parental care chosen was due to job-migration; postnatal care was possible for only three months; the most needed choice was a community child development centre with a registration system for non-parental care; the Community Family Development Center should also organize parent education on child rearing activities. 2) A proposed manual of an innovative approach to enhance attachment in families comprised of a set of educating documents on parenting under threes, including play and interaction game activities.
