…because when a parent grows, so does the child.
Childhood happens now. Not tomorrow. Not “when things get easier.”
Through short, inspiring talks, open conversations, and panel discussions, we’ll explore the real questions and challenges of parenting-from pregnancy and early development to school and adolescence.
A child doesn’t need a perfect parent. They need a present parent who is willing to learn and grow alongside them.
The goal of the conference is to provide parents, educators, and professionals working with children with a space for real questions and practical answers-through four sessions that follow a child’s development from the prenatal period through adolescence.
Eminent experts from Serbia and the region in the fields of psychology, pedagogy, medicine, child development, and therapeutic work, who work closely with children, parents, and professionals on a daily basis.
No distance, no complicated theories-just real questions and practical answers that can make a difference.
The conference is intended for parents and parents-to-be, mothers and fathers alike, as well as educators, pedagogues and psychologists, speech therapists, special education professionals and therapists, and anyone who wants to better understand children, their development, and their needs.
Don’t come just to listen. Come to ask questions, have conversations, and find answers.
Four sessions, three hours each – each one featuring three expert talks (20 minutes each), a panel discussion, and an interactive Q&A with participants.
