Initiator Training: The Active Role of Parents in Creating a Golden Generation

This event was special because it was attended by husband and wife couples, different from previous educational activities which were usually only attended by one parent.

Head of the Bandung City Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (DP3A) Service, Uum Sumiati, said that this activity was to provide an understanding of the importance of the active role of fathers and mothers in raising children.

“Parents have an important role in raising children. Mother teaches warmth and safety. "Meanwhile, my father taught me adventure, challenges and vision," said Uum at the Shakti Hotel, Jalan Soekarno Hatta, Bandung City, Wednesday, May 15 2024.

According to Uum, it is necessary to develop family-friendly jobs so that working parents have the opportunity to care for their children.

He also highlighted the importance of planning in arranging child birth spacing to ensure parenting rights can be fulfilled properly.

"This training encourages parents to be more involved in raising children through the 3B concept: Playing, Talking and Learning," he explained.

According to Uum, playing with children not only strengthens emotional bonds, but also enriches children's experiences.

"Talking and having intense dialogue with children makes them more open and feel heard," he explained.

Meanwhile, studying together at home with a varied schedule according to the child's age can improve their knowledge and skills.

"With this training, parents are increasingly aware of the importance of active involvement in child care to form a quality and competitive generation in the future," hoped Uum. (ziz)**
