| Streszczenie: | In Bangladesh, programs for children up to five years have been
directed to ensure their survival, physical growth and good health. There is no nation
wide structured program that addresses the cognitive, emotional, and social
development of young children, resulting in lost opportunities to develop full
potential of the child during the early years. Taking this into consideration, the Early
Childhood Development (ECD) program has been initiated in the current country
program cycle (2001-2005) of the Government and UNICEF. One of the strategies is
to accomplish this through "Child-to-child approach", a time honoured system by
which older children is taking care of their younger siblings. The objective of the
child-to-child approach is to provide adolescents with the knowledge and skills to
interact creatively and effectively with the young children, and to develop skills of
critical-thinking and problem solving.
