The central aim of the session was to engage and educate parents—the primary agents of socialisation—on the critical role they play in shaping the behaviour, attitude, and values of their children. The session highlighted that a parent’s influence begins even before birth and continues throughout a child’s developmental stages.
From providing emotional security and instilling moral values to fostering self-confidence and ensuring overall well-being, the role of parents in an adolescent’s life is both foundational and enduring.
District Lead of TBBT (Arunachal), Ms. Senya Aboh, led the session by introducing parents to the concept of adolescence. She explained the various changes adolescents experience and the challenges that often accompany this transitional phase. She also shared practical ways parents can provide meaningful support to their children—through open communication, active listening, emotional reassurance, and by creating a safe and informed home environment.

The orientation also served as a platform to bridge communication gaps between parents and children and aimed to build a healthy support system that encourages dialogue and removes stigma around adolescent issues.
As a token of support, each participating parent was presented with a specially designed parent-kit box. These kits contained informative booklets on crucial topics such as adolescent health, menstrual hygiene, mental health, internet safety, and substance abuse.
