For the first time, a forum addressing parenting education was held.

Responding to Vietnamese Family Day (June 28) and Action Month for Children 2024, on the afternoon of June 11, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Women's Union (VWU) coordinated with the Southeast Emulation Cluster to organize the Parenting Forum at Binh Duong Provincial Political School.

Alternate member of the Party Central Committee, Vice President of the Vietnam Women's Union Ton Ngoc Hanh spoke at the forum

Speaking at the forum, alternate member of the Party Central Committee, Vice President of the Vietnam Women's Union Ton Ngoc Hanh affirmed that this is the first time a forum addressing parenting education has been organized in a direct form combined with online and widely promoted information on television channels in provinces and cities across the country.

“Being a parent is considered a very special "profession", a very sacred and happy job but also contains many difficulties and challenges. In this journey, we - those who have been and are parents - have certainly been confused and bewildered many times. Because in reality, there is no school that "teaches" parenting methods/skills in a systematic and scientific way. Only after having children do parents begin the journey of learning to be parents,” said Ms. Ton Ngoc Hanh.

According to the Vice President of the Vietnam Women's Union, in the process of caring for and raising children, family - school and society are important factors with a close relationship, directly affecting the formation and development of children's personality in the future. If the family is the first cradle that influences children's personality, then school and society are the places that help children nurture their personality, ethics, lifestyle, help children learn more basic knowledge, life skills... creating a solid foundation for entering life.

As an organization representing and protecting the legal and legitimate rights and interests of women and children, for many years, the Vietnam Women's Union has always valued and carried out the work of caring for, educating and protecting children through the role of mothers and families.

This is the first time a forum addressing parenting education has been held.

Faced with the increasingly urgent need for child care, education and protection, especially child care and nurturing through the role of women in the family, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Women's Union will continue to focus on parenting education to support female cadres and members to have more opportunities to access and improve their knowledge and skills as parents.

At the Forum, delegates had the opportunity to exchange and share practical experiences in the process of raising children; listen to experts in the fields of education, family and children share about issues that are attracting the attention of society such as: Responsibilities of families and the whole society in caring for and treating children's mental health; protecting children from violence and abuse; skills to build family happiness in the digital age...

The forum is also an opportunity for the Women's Unions of provinces and cities to share the advantages and difficulties and propose appropriate solutions in implementing parenting education content, contributing to the effective implementation of the 2024-2025 theme content of Project 938 "Parenting education in child care and protection".

At the event, delegates also heard representatives of the Department of Education and Training, parents and students in Binh Duong province share about priorities in child care, education and protection./.
