COHERE SEL QUARTERLY REFRAME REPORT 3.                          DATE: 11. Juni 2026

Project name: Children's Education support.      

Objectives:  This project aims at the following objectives:                                                                                                                            

 - Strengthening  the community agencies in promoting child education: through embracing collective responsibilities in the improvement and inclusive education for children, as community agents we are able to collaborate and ensure that all children access education within both refugee camp set up and hos-t community.                                                                                                                                                                                        

– Training parents on positive parenting   methodologies: since positive parenting   plays an important role on child academic performance, we have identified the utmost need of equipping parents with the quintessential SEL skills that enable them to positively bring up the children while supporting them in excelling in their academic journey.                                                                                                                                                     

 -  Capacity building teachers on SEL skills  necessary for the day to day school learning activities that enable better  academic performance of children through better management of children emotions including: anxiety, anger, happiness, timidity,  fear, etc.                                                                                                                   

– Improving   School and parent collaboration: While the child success depends on both parent and teacher involvement, this project has been much impactful in encouraging collaboration between parents and teacher   for the nice mentoring of the child.

 Key activities: Throughout the program running we have been able to conduct the following key activities:  Child creativity, Relationship between parents, school and Teachers   , parents organizing playful activities with their children, teachers sometime rending visit to the learner’s home, Honesty, Empathie, Respekt und Disziplin etc.

At UIR we recently conducted a parental workshop with 50 parents at k 2 Z1 B6 on 21^st May 2026 on positive parenting methodologies where we managed to train them on the following topics:

I. Boosting your children‘s self-esteem:

-kids start developing their sense of senses of self as babies when they see themselves through their parents eyes.

. Your tone of voice, your body language and your very expression are absorbed by your kids

. Your words and Actions as parents affect their development of self –esteem more than anything else.

II. Catching kids being good:

. Have you ever stopped to think about to think about how many times you react negatively to your kids in a given day?

. you may find yourself criticizing for more often than complementing. How would you feel about a boss who treated you with that much negative guidance even if it was well intentioned?

III. Setting limits and being consistent with kids' discipline:

. Discipline is necessary in every household. The goal of discipline is to help kids choose acceptable behaviors and learn self-control.

. Establishing house rules helps kids understand your expectations and develop self-control. Some rules might include, but are not limited to:

-No watching of TV until home work is done!

-No hitting one another in this house!

No naming calling in this house!

No hurtful teasing is allowed in this house!

IV. Making time with your children:

It's open and hard for parents and kids to get together for family meals, let alone spend quality time together over meals.

But there is probably nothing kids would like more.

Get up to 10 minutes earlier in the morning so you can eat breakfast with your children.

V. Be good role model:

Young kids learn a lot about how to act by watching their parents. The young they are, the more cues they take from you. Before you rush out or blow your top in front of your children think about this ‘’ IS that how want your child to behave when angry?’’ Be aware that you are constantly watched by your children.

VI. Make communication Priority

.You can’t expect kids to do everything simply because you as parents “Say so” They want and deserve explanations as much as adults do. If you don’t take time to explain, kids will begin wondering about our values and motivation and weather they have any basis.

Parents who reason with their kids allow them to understand and learn in nonjudgmental way. Make your expectations clear.

If there is a problem, describe it, express your feelings and invite your children to work on a solution with you.

We have also succefully expanded our interventions at our UIR center with newly reached 88 children. And we managed to organize two different children’s gatherings which accommodated 175 children from community field children and UIR center children with an aim of making healthy friendship.  Children shared their various experiences, played together, sang and danced together, recited poems together and made various and inspiring stories together.

At UIR, we have managed to train parents on various methods of bringing children closer, covering topics such as life skills for children:

-Problem-solving skills: Here we teach parents various mechanisms of how they can lead children to solve their disputes, such as helping children with active listening skills, which helps children understand what the root cause of the conflict was.

-Critical thinking skills: this is where parents let children learn how to generate more ideas, such as giving out a rectangle and asking children to find out other items that have the same shapes.

-Effective communication skills: This is where parents teach their children how to communicate effectively by carefully listening, using gestures, body language, and giving feedback.

-Decision-making skills: Here parents teach children how to effectively think twice before taking action.

-Interpersonal relationship skills: Here parents teach children how they can relate with other children by playing together, sharing experiences, and sharing what they have.

-Self-awareness-building skills: This is where parents help children to develop their self-confidence and understand their weaknesses and strengths.

-Self-management skills: This is where children learn how to control their emotions, such as extreme happiness, anger, and anxiety.

-Social awareness: This is where children learn to know what parents expect from them and what routines, norms, rules, and regulations govern their community.
