Noura Mujahid, Head of the FDF’s Effective Parenting Skills programme, said: “The programme’s
major goal is to create a stable, healthy home environment that fosters children’s personality
development.

"As children’s interactions with their parents and siblings have a significant impact on them, this
programme also promotes healthy communication and emotional ties within the family.”

Mujahid further emphasised that nurturing a safe and healthy family environment requires positive
communication and engagement between parents, children, and other family members.

She pointed out that having open and positive conversations with parents creates a feeling of warmth
and friendship, which helps children grow as individuals and prepares them to be active members of
their families and society, thereby ensuring the sustainability of the community.

Since promoting constructive communication between parents and children is essential to
establishing enduring family bonds, Mujahid emphasised that FDF places a high priority on cultivating
and encouraging critical abilities and behaviour that support the stability and cohesiveness of
families.

The services and initiatives offered by the FDF highlight the vital role that parents play in raising their
children while encouraging a sense of safety, self-assurance, positive social interactions, and honest,
productive communication within the family.
