A total of 311 parents and 177 children were served in parenting classes in fiscal year 2018, according to Parents Anonymous Inc. Groups and Children\u2019s Programs under the Division of Youth Services.<\/p>\n
This program, which gives parents leadership skills at home and equips them with parenting resources, was the highlight in yesterday\u2019s proclamation signing across the Tanapag Middle School, with Lt. Gov. Arnold I. Palacios declaring February as the 2019 CNMI Parent Leadership Month.<\/p>\n
Th DYS program is led by DYS administrator Vivian Sablan.<\/p>\n
According to Department of Community and Cultural Affairs Secretary Robert Hunter, a lot of society\u2019s ills are rooted in a skewed home environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is this whole array of societal educational issues that we deal with such as loss of language, educational outcomes, and their health and well-being,\u201d Hunter said. \u201c\u2026But really, a lot of these issues are rooted in a singular issue, [which is] parenting or what is happening at the home.\u201d <\/p>\n
This is why recognizing parent leadership is important, he added.<\/p>\n
In an interview, Palacios noted that good parental leadership at home can only lead to a better and stronger community. <\/p>\n
\u201cBeing a parent is a 24\/7 job, but a stronger community starts from strong parenthood and a strong family, so it is very important that we continue to insist on ourselves as parents to listen to our children because we can only be better if we raise our children in a better\u2026emotional environment, physical environment, and temporal environment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is very important for us to continue these engagements with our families and parents,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
