Palawan — Seventy-five Child Development Workers or CDWs across Narra, Palawan, completed an intensive three-day Training on Parent Effectiveness Service or PES at the municipal hall. Organized jointly by the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office or PSWDO and the Narra Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office or MSWDO, the program equipped frontline early childhood educators with practical strategies for family guidance. Participants engaged in dynamic sessions covering positive parenting principles, active household communication, and child nurture techniques. The initiative directly supports the Palawan Plus Development Agenda under Governor Amy Roa Alvarez, reinforcing local efforts to empower parents and foster resilient households.
Grassroots Early Educators Enhance Family Guidance Skills During Workshop
Child development workers gathered at the Narra municipal hall to undergo structured training on parent guidance and early childhood care. Facilitators from provincial and municipal social welfare offices guided participants through interactive lectures, practical exercises, and group discussions. The modules highlighted foundational concepts of positive parenting, effective non-violent discipline, and constructive intra-family communication strategies. Attending educators explored modern methodologies to assist parents in addressing emotional, physical, and developmental needs of young children. Mastering these techniques enables frontline workers to serve as effective mentors within their respective day care centers.
Municipal Leadership Urges Active Implementation Across All Local Barangays
Narra Mayor Gerandy B. Danao expressed strong backing for the social welfare initiative during the gathering. He encouraged every participant to actively apply their new skills when interacting with mothers, fathers, and guardians in rural communities. Rather than treating the program as a passive workshop, local officials emphasized passing actionable insights down to neighborhood assemblies. Transforming theory into daily practice helps build supportive home environments where children thrive. Strong partnership between municipal agencies and barangay workers ensures long-term community benefits.
Integrated Development Agenda Elevates Grassroots Child Welfare Support Systems
The training session forms an integral component of the province's broader social development frameworks led by Governor Amy Roa Alvarez. By upgrading the core skills of community-based child development workers, provincial administrators aim to establish reliable support systems for every Palaweño family. Barangay day care staff serve as critical liaisons who guide parents through the challenges of raising healthy, well-adjusted children. Continuing education investments reflect a long-term commitment to nurturing early childhood growth across southern Palawan. Empowering local care workers ultimately lays the groundwork for stronger, more cohesive communities.
