Dr N.P Hafiz Mohamad.he has presented the present scenario of Gulf parenting with its special features and traits.He also pointed out the problems generally observed among gulf parents. Most of the parents are not able to resolve many issues of their adolescent children. They are in difficulty in controlling mobile and internet abuse. Frequent conflicts took place when they interfere. Gulf parents who bring up their children with them also fail in inculcating sociability and many of them are in miserable conditions when children are sent back to India. In gulf countries there are no efficient intervention programs to resolve many of their issues like parent child conflict , adolescent love affairs, problems in goal setting and career guidance. When they emotionally involved in any behavioral problems, it becomes the worst. As such expats organizations ignore their burning issues and not organizing any effective programs for resolving. He also appreciated FOSA for taking over the challenge. The interactive session in workshop was useful for getting clarified the subject.
