Better Parenting Nigeria is a discussion peer learning and sharing model. Exchange is promoted by a parenting facilitator posing questions, guiding the discussion and emphasizing good practices, encouraging participation, praising examples of good parenting, and gently correcting information if negative advice is shared. Using a ‘protective factors’ approach is a positive way to engage families, because it focuses on families’ strengths, builds a base for lifelong positive parent-child relationships, and can provide a strong platform for collaborative partnerships with other service providers, including social service workers.
