Parents Orientation cum Seminar: Focusing the next generation: Effective Parenting Style for Today’s World: August 9, 2024

In today’s fast-paced world of technological advancements and societal changes, traditional parenting methods often fail to address modern challenges. To address this, a seminar was held during the Parents’ Orientation at the Tupa-ya Sports Complex, offering psychological-based strategies and practical tools for contemporary parenting.

The seminar was led by Ma’am Ylona Veronica A. Bayod, a registered psychologist, psychometrician, and licensed professional teacher. She is also a co-owner and clinical psychologist at the Baguio-Benguet Psychological Services and Consultation Center, where she provides vital mental health services and consultancy. Her talk, titled “The Role of Parenting on the Mental Health of the Child,” offered profound insights into the impact of parenting on a child’s well-being.

Ma’am Bayod emphasized key points, including:

• “What home do you provide for your children? Do they feel excited to go back home after school?”
• “Be the kind of love that you did not receive.”
• “The psychological father is far more important than the biological father” (for single mothers raising children).
• “Nobody is guaranteed a senior citizen life. Give the love they deserve so that when you’re gone, there will be no regrets.”
• “You cannot change negative behavior through anger. Only love can.”

The session empowered parents with valuable insights and encouraged them to foster a nurturing environment that promotes their children’s mental and emotional health.
