The Great Parenting Show, a free and unique event conceptualized in association with Dubai Media City and designed for the entire family, is set to showcase a wide array of interactive, engaging and entertaining activities for people of all ages ensuring a fun day out for everyone.
An initiative created and organised by the Middle East’s leading communication and events company LinkViva, the Great Parenting Show will be held at Dubai Media City Amphitheatre on November 30 and December 1, 2012 from 10am to 8pm. Entrance to the show is free.
The Great Parenting Show provides a glimpse of the different stages in the incredible journey of being a parent; bringing together experts and specialists and showcasing everything from education, childcare, nutrition, fitness, safety, health and well-being, entertainment and much more.
At this inspiring two-day event, parents can discover plenty of products, solutions and advice from creative ways to get children to enjoy their meals to effective methods of dealing with troublesome toddlers! The event will also help mums-to-be tackle it all – from guidance on what to eat and what to avoid, to suggestions on where to buy, and how to cope when things don’t go as expected!
Talking about the unique show, Niousha Ehsan, Event Director at LinkViva says: “Parenthood throws up lot of thrills and challenges. Get up close and personally interact for free with top experts at the Great Parenting Show, who will be glad to offer valuable advice that will immensely nurture you and your child’s body and mind.”
The show will have different zones for various age-groups – Exhibition Zone, Seminar Zone, One-on-One Consultation Zone and Kids Activity Zone.
Niousha adds: “Apart from the zones, there will be a lot of other activities on offer. Our ambassador and renowned family, fitness and well-being expert Bernadette Abraham will present the Parent to Parent Lounge where there will be a variety of topics that parents can come together to discuss experiences and challenges – combining entertainment and discovery to make it an amazing Family Day Out.”
The Parent to Parent Lounge will present hourly presentation by experts and parents on various real-life situations. Similarly the seminars will focus on various topics, where experts will discuss the adventures of child rearing – for newborns, toddlers and even teens. Sessions will focus on dealing with major life transitions, academic concerns, balancing parenting and relationships and other matters that affect kids emotionally, physically and socially.
Coinciding with the 41st UAE National Day weekend, the show will also celebrate the spirit of the Union by conducting the UAE’s first ever family challenge. The Tribal Games will also celebrate the occasion, by creating the ‘Tribes’ t-shirts with amazing prizes up for grabs.
