The workshop was attended by over 100 parents and caregivers from various backgrounds and age groups. The workshop focused on the importance of emotional intelligence in parenting, and how it can impact the development of children’s emotional well-being and social skills.
The Importance of Emotional Intelligence in Parenting
Emotional intelligence is a crucial aspect of parenting, as it enables parents to understand and manage their own emotions, as well as those of their children. This, in turn, helps to create a nurturing environment that fosters healthy emotional development and social skills in children.
The programme is designed to help parents develop the skills and confidence they need to raise their children to be happy, healthy and well-adjusted individuals.
The Importance of Strengthening Families
Strengthening families is crucial for the well-being of individuals, communities, and society as a whole. When families are strong, they are better equipped to provide a stable and loving environment for their children, which in turn has a positive impact on the child’s development and future prospects.
