We successfully conducted a Parenting for Respectability (PfR) refresher training aimed at strengthening the knowledge and skills of Community-Based Facilitators and promoting positive parenting practices within the community.
The training was guided by four key modules:
- Bonding & Attachment (Module 1): Participants explored the importance of building strong, loving, and secure relationships between parents and children, recognizing that positive interactions and emotional support are essential for healthy child development.
- Positive Discipline (Module 2): The module guided participants on the use of non-violent and constructive approaches to discipline, helping parents and caregivers guide children's behaviour while maintaining respect, dignity, and positive relationships.
- Gender Socialization & Relationships (Module 3): Participants reflected on how gender beliefs and expectations influence relationships within families and communities and discussed the importance of promoting equality, respect, and healthy relationships.
- Communication, Power & Conflict Resolution (Module 4): This module strengthened participants' understanding of effective communication, healthy use of power within relationships, and peaceful ways of managing and resolving conflicts within families.
Through interactive discussions, shared experiences, and active participation, the training provided an opportunity for participants to reflect, learn, and strengthen their capacity to support parents and caregivers in creating safe, respectful, and nurturing environments where every child can thrive.
