There’s a ‘Parent and Child Wellbeing Conference’ Coming to Dubai this March

Calling all parents: Mediaquest is set to host its second edition of the Parent and Child Wellbeing Conference in Dubai next month! This regional conference was originally formed to connect parents with local experts who specialise in modern-day parenting, child development and family wellness.

After the success of its first edition last year, the one-day conference will be bringing back its parenting expertise to Kings’ School this March. Themed around ‘Body and Mind’, this year’s conference will focus on two main topic areas: nutrition and behaviour. From family activities and exhibitions to expert panel discussions and workshops, here’s why parents won’t want to miss this…

Why is this conference important?

From diabetes and autism to high obesity rates and infant mortality, there are many challenges parents face when it comes to child development. These issues are especially common in the Arab world, which is why the Parent and Child Wellbeing Conference is beneficial for parents living in this region.

Meet the ‘Wellness Community’

The aim of this community is to promote healthy living alongside businesses that positively support parents and kids in areas such as health, wellness and education.
