In August and September 2024, MES facilitated Positive Parenting workshops in Dekyiling and Clement Town in Uttarakhand, and Miao and Tezu in Arunachal Pradesh. A total of 282 (202F/80M) parents took part in the workshops. The workshop focused on three key topics - importance of parenting, long-term parenting goals, and positive parenting strategies. Parents were trained on evidence-based parenting strategies including modeling positive behaviors, validating children’s feelings, giving children freedom of choice, respecting children, fostering reading environment at home, limiting screen time and promoting gender quality at home. MES team members Kalsang Wangdu and Ngawang Tseten facilitated the workshop sessions.
