“Family Life” is a joint interactive program that focuses on upbringing and positive parenting methods. It was launched by UNICEF in collaboration with the Jordanian newspaper Al-Ghad in 2019 in support of the Government’s National Plan for the Prevention of Violence against Children. As the fruit of a collaborated effort by UNICEF and Al-Ghad, the program seeks to enhance social integration and raise public and parental awareness on the benefits of positive parenting and warn against the negative impacts of violence against children. Throughout the entire episodes, information on proper parenting methods are presented by experts in the field of education, illustrating how to deal with the challenges that parents face in raising their children from early childhood to adolescence. The program also provides a platform for children and their parents to enquire about their everyday challenges.
The episodes are broadcast live on Al Ghad’s website and Facebook page, and the full episodes can be found on their website.
An opinion poll was conducted to identify key problems facing parents through an interactive process during the broadcasting of the program. The results were displayed in the episode of “Family Live” as follows:
