For a Gentler, Peaceful PH.

Our advocacy

Parenting is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but one that cultivates a culture of peace within the family and spreads to the community is truly praiseworthy.

our message

Punitive parenting may be deemed effective for some, but it may encourage others to be aggressive and violent, which can impede the spread of peace in the community. Nevertheless, embracing gentle ways of parenting fosters love and empathy, which lay the foundation for a peaceful community.

our goals

  • Present the parenting style in the Philippines.

  • Present the role of parenting in building a peaceful community through child rearing.

  • Increase parents' awareness of the differences between punitive and gentle parenting, as well as their effects on children's development.

  • Encourage parents to use gentle parenting techniques in their families as a tract for a peaceful home and peaceful community.

  • Inform the general public about the help desks for women and children, as well as helplines.
