The JSWAP successfully conducted a seminar on “Strengthening Families through Positive and Effective Parenting” for the parents of Barangay Sebasi, Clarin 💙👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. This meaningful activity aimed to equip parents with knowledge, skills, and values essential in raising children with love, discipline, and understanding.

The seminar highlighted important topics such as responsible parenting and the duties and responsibilities of parents. Through interactive discussions and group activities, participants were able to share ideas and reflect on their roles in nurturing their children’s growth and well-being. The speaker also emphasized the importance of meeting children’s needs and building strong family relationships grounded in care and respect.

One of the key messages shared during the seminar was that parents should use their hands for love and protection, not for harm. Discipline, while necessary, should always be guided by understanding, communication, and proper care, fostering trust and positive development among children.

The JSWAP extends its sincere gratitude to the individuals who contributed to the success of this seminar: Hon. Robert L. Calib-og, Barangay Captain of Sebasi, Clarin; Ms. Apple Jane M. Abenido, RSW, MSSW, our resource speaker; Mrs. Winnie A. Bhagwani; and all the organizers and participants whose support and cooperation made this activity possible.
