Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Social Development and Family (MSDF) on Monday organised a discussion panel on parental education methods and learning through play. The session aimed to underscore the role of play in shaping children's behavior and addressing behavioural challenges through playful interaction. The event was attended by a gathering of researchers, specialists, and individuals interested in family affairs.

Hosted by the Family Counseling Center (Wifaq), the event featured the launch of the "Benny Anthony Family Relations Scale" by HE Assistant Undersecretary for Family Affairs at MSDF Sheikha Sheikha bint Jassim bin Ahmed Al Thani. This initiative seeks to enhance the understanding of family relationships from a child's perspective, providing an innovative tool to assess family dynamics. The scale offers crucial insights into emotional connections within families, supporting broader efforts to promote children's mental health and family stability.

Through the "learning through play" approach, children are encouraged to express their emotions and thoughts, offering parents and specialists a unique opportunity to understand their needs and challenges more effectively.
