## Resource

Parents across the island just graduated from a groundbreaking six-session Parent Education Programme, designed to equip caregivers with practical, research-backed tools for raising children. Funded by the Inter-American Development Bank and co-created with input from teachers, psychologists, and community groups like the Autism Association and churches, this initiative filled a critical gap—most of us prepare for careers and school, but rarely for parenting. Through shared stories and evidence-based strategies, participants learned to move from reactive to intentional parenting, reinforcing that every moment—from hugs to bedtime stories—is vital in shaping a child’s development. The program celebrates parents as their child’s first and most powerful teacher. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
