Parenting is both a blessing and a responsibility that requires knowledge, patience, and skills. The Art of Parenting program is an initiative of the Maawan Changian Development Center (MCD) at GIFT University. It is designed to prepare and support young mothers, mothers-to-be, and families in nurturing the next generation with care, wisdom, and confidence. This program recognizes that parenting is not instinctive alone - it is an art that can be learned, practiced, and refined. By equipping participants with frameworks and tools rooted in evidence-based practices, cultural values, and holistic well-being, Art of Parenting empowers individuals to become nurturing caregivers and positive role models.
