Doha: To help parents develop childcare skills that raise healthy minds today and responsible citizens tomorrow, Qatar National Library will hold a virtual lecture on this vital topic on January 30. 

Aptly titled "Raising Children," the event will be delivered by Dr. Mamoun Mobayed, Director of the Treatment and Rehabilitation Department at the Behavioral Healthcare Center. Dr. Mobayed will coach parents on navigating the challenges of parenting and master what many deem the hardest job in the world.

Dr. Mobayed will draw on his experience as a leading psychiatrist and author of several parenting books. The lecture, which will be delivered in Arabic, revolves around the ten core principles of parenting and covers the most common pitfalls.

Commenting on the event, Maram A. Al Mahmoud, Head of the Children's Library at Qatar National Library, said: "It has long been said that the hardest job in the world is to be a successful parent. As every mother and father knows, the role is akin to riding a roller coaster, as ups and downs are commonplace every day, no matter the child's age. This lecture is a chance for parents to reexamine their relationship with their children and discover some important child-raising skills that can help them and their youngsters on their incredibly special journey together."
