Grandparents are among the best storytellers. Building on this “#BaapiNaUwaat”(Tips of Grandmother), a unique social #behaviourchange campaign was launched in Dantewada in #Chattisgarh.
🧵on the program utilizing services of volunteer village grandmothers 👵.
Under this initiation, Bapis (Grandmothers)👵 were identified based on their influence in the community and volunteerism. 239 women above 45 years of age (one for each village) currently volunteer as Baapis. They gave useful tips on various topics related to child & mother care.
Baapi means Grandmother who connects with people on their personal goodwill, without the temptation of any monetary benefit. They are considered ideal people to be sought out not just by the pregnant woman but her family too, and thereby the community as a whole. #BehaviourChange

In behaviour change science, the predominant focus has been on the techniques that intervention providers deliver to recipients, and limited attention is given to the actions that people must themselves undertake to successfully change or self-manage motivation or behaviour.
@NatureHumBehav @keeganknittle @Heinonmatti @marta_m_marques @WendyHardeman1 @MartinHagger @SteniusMinna @helsinkiuni @SocSciHelsinki 3/
Psychological research has examined a range of strategies that people may use to enhance their own motivation or performance in many applied areas, for example: job crafting in work psych, self-talk in sports psych, self-regulation of learning in educational psych...
