Eco International School held a parent workshop titled “Raising Confident, Capable and Caring Children” at its Veng Sreng campus on Saturday, 14 November 2026. According to the school’s Facebook post, parents gathered to discuss everyday ways to encourage children’s confidence, independence and kindness. The morning included shared learning and group activities, while children spent time playing and exploring with teachers.

The school thanked families who attended the event and described it as a morning of learning and discussion. Parents explored practical approaches to supporting children’s development and exchanged ideas and experiences during group activities. The post also notes that children were supervised by teachers while the adults participated.

The school has not identified individual workshop presenters or published a detailed session agenda, so the specific teaching methods discussed cannot be confirmed from the announcement.

Eco International School said it looks forward to welcoming families to another workshop, although the post does not give a date for the next event.

Helping children develop confidence

Confidence develops as children have opportunities to attempt tasks, make decisions and learn from mistakes. Parents can support this process by offering manageable challenges and recognising specific efforts, such as trying a new activity or asking for help appropriately.

Encouragement is most useful when it describes what a child did. Instead of relying only on general praise, adults can notice persistence, preparation and problem-solving. Children may then understand which actions helped them make progress.

Confidence does not mean that a child always feels comfortable. Some children need more time, modelling or reassurance before trying unfamiliar tasks. Expectations should reflect their age and developmental needs.

Encouraging independence through daily routines

Independence can be practised through ordinary family routines. Young children might put away toys, choose between suitable clothing options or help prepare materials for school. Older children can gradually take responsibility for planning homework and organising personal belongings.

Parents can make tasks easier to learn by demonstrating each step, offering visual reminders and reducing assistance as skills improve. Providing appropriate choices gives children experience making decisions within safe boundaries.

The aim is to build practical ability over time. Adults should remain available when a task is unsafe, too complex or beyond a child’s current skills.

Teaching kindness and caring behaviour

Kindness can be developed through conversations and repeated social experiences. Families can model respectful communication, explain how actions affect others and encourage children to consider another person’s perspective.

When disagreements happen, adults can guide children to describe the problem, listen to each other and identify a fair next step. Such discussions can help children practise communication and conflict resolution.

Children also benefit from seeing adults demonstrate patience and care in everyday interactions. Parents and teachers can reinforce these behaviours consistently while recognising that social understanding develops differently for each child.

Parent-school collaboration in Phnom Penh

Workshops offer families opportunities to discuss parenting questions with educators and exchange experiences with other parents. They may also help schools understand the kinds of guidance families are seeking.
