She said that the family is the main school for children, so parents need to have sufficient knowledge and skills to raise children. “Knowledge and skills are not something that a person automatically has when becoming a parent, but rather things that need to be learned and trained,” she told the participants.
She also expressed her appreciation and gratitude to all parties who have contributed to the success and sustainable development of SOTH. She emphasized that this cannot be separated from the joint participation and acceleration of all parties. Meanwhile, Donny Sandito, W., S.STP, M.Si, as the Head of Social Services Agency P3AP2KB Malang City revealed, the campaign aims to strengthen commitment, support, and synergistic cooperation to strengthen Toddler Family Development.
The man who once served as Head of Public Relations of the Regional Secretariat of Malang City hopes that this event can increase support and synergistic cooperation for BKB development. “In addition, it is also expected to increase the effectiveness of counseling service activities for families of toddlers through the Great Parent School in the BKB group,” he hoped again.
The BKB-HI activity through SOTH was attended by participants from the Heads of TP PKK Subdistricts, Villages, Pokja 2 TP PKK City and Subdistricts, Family Planning Counselors, and representatives of BKB cadres in 57 villages throughout Malang City.
