In a collaborative effort to promote positive parenting and address childhood disorders, the Sri Lankan community in Doha came together at the Sri Lankan Stafford Kindergarten School on January 4. The ‘Positive Parenting & Childhood Disorders Seminar’, organised by the Sri Lankans Community Welfare Federation and the Clean Nation Movement, drew more than 100 attendees eager to enhance their parenting skills.
The highlight of the seminar was a one-hour awareness programme conducted by international trainer, psychological counsellor, and Sri Lankan university visiting lecturer Ilham Marikar. His expertise in the field brought valuable insights to the participants, shedding light on effective parenting strategies and methods to tackle childhood disorders.
Under the leadership of Ihjas Faiz, the Sri Lankans Community Welfare Federation and the Clean Nation Movement jointly hosted the programme, reflecting the community’s commitment to holistic well-being and social welfare.
Isham Marikar, the leader of the Clean Nation Movement, expressed satisfaction with the event’s success. “Parents had a very good time with the resource person since we made their kids busy with activities. It was a huge success, and we hope it will benefit each and every one to be a better parent”, he said.
The seminar not only provided a platform for parents to learn from a distinguished expert but also incorporated engaging activities for children. This approach sought to create a positive and inclusive environment, ensuring that parents could focus on the seminar content while their children were entertained.
The initiative received praise for its unique blend of education and practical implementation. Attendees left the event equipped with new knowledge, tools, and a sense of community support, fostering an environment conducive to positive parenting and overall family well-being.
The Sri Lankan community in Doha remains committed to organising more such events, fostering a sense of unity and shared responsibility in nurturing the next generation. The success of the Positive Parenting & Childhood Disorders Seminar has set a precedent for future collaborative efforts aimed at enhancing the well-being of the community’s families.
