PRESENT DAY NEED OF PARENTING TRAINING FACILITATOR IN SCHOOLS
Modern-day parents are informed, ambitious, and often anxious about their childâs future, which sometimes creates challenges for school leaders. A Parenting Training Facilitator helps schools build healthy parentâschool relationships by educating parents on child psychology, managing expectations, and promoting positive communication. They guide parents on issues like academic pressure, discipline, and emotional well-being, reducing conflicts with school management. By fostering cooperation and shared responsibility, facilitators empower principals and teachers to implement policies smoothly, ensuring a supportive environment for student growth.
