At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
It is an international day observed worldwide by FND enthusiasts especially and people who promote awareness of neurological disorders.
The day can be observed by anyone from any part of the world.
The first International FND Awareness Day began in 2013, promoted by the British charity FND Action. They aimed to promote awareness of patients with a functional neurological disorder and the treatment plans available through physical therapy.
The first International FND Awareness Day, observed in 2013, was started by Bridget Mildon, creator of FND Hope. It is a non-profit patient organization that aims to educate people about functional neurological disorder and how they can help towards the cause of funding research and a potential cure.
Learn about the history of functional neurological disorders and their first existence below.
There are three things that you can do to observe International FND Awareness Day. First, spread knowledge about functional neurological disorder where the person experiences symptoms like abdominal discomfort in the absence of a functional cause. This chronic pain, leading to extreme cognitive problems, affects the health and quality of life.
If you are a survivor, share your stories on Let's Talk FND on the FND Hope website. Finally, donate and support fundraising.
If you want to help out on this day, let everyone know what the day is about. Besides, you can also donate or help raise funds for advanced FND research and treatments.
If you are an FND survivor, share your personal experiences about how it affected your body and help educate people about functional neurological disorders and how available medications can improve quality of life.
FND Hopes conducts various campaigns to raise awareness about the disorder. It also highlights the effort and dedication of people who care for someone diagnosed with FND. Sign up for a volunteer program to support the campaign to raise funds.
According to the journal published by Psychiatry and Neuroscience, out of 100,000 people, FND occurs in 4–12 people.
The patient with the functional neurological disorder has a structurally normal brain but functions incorrectly. It is uncommon in children under ten years old, but FND affects anyone.
FND is unpredictable, and symptoms may come and go or persist. In some cases, symptoms resolve within a short period, and in some people, they may continue for months or years.
The day is aimed toward raising general awareness, including the effort, love, and dedication of people who care for someone with FND.
Events similar to International FND Awareness Day are International FND Awareness Week and World FND Month.
Medical associations have released various mental health tools to support neurological disorders.
