Training sessions will be developed for parents to learn effective parenting skills during 7 modules consisting of 3 Saturdays. Parenting workshops and seminars will be structured around the parenting needs to assist parents to get involved and stay involved with their children’s development. These training parenting sessions will be a written agreement between the parents and the training facilitators. This workbook will set guidelines for parents to learn how to prepare their children for life.
