There are three things that the training aims to achieve. The first is Effective Communication, which teaches how to communicate with children, resolve conflicts, and express affection.

‘Then Positive Discipline, which teaches positive discipline techniques and limit setting in relationships, the dangers of free sex, drugs, and the importance of education and the risks of early marriage. Then is Positive Parent-Child Relationship, which is expected to help build a positive and mutually supportive relationship between parents and children,’ he explained.
