Tbilisi, Georgia, December 10, 2018- Majority of adolescents’ parents in Georgia practise an authoritarian parenting style and apply physical and psychological punishment methods; parents are mostly engaged in caring for their adolescent’s material and physical wellbeing, less in psycho emotional development – these are some of the findings of the ‘National Study on Parenting of Adolescents and Parenting Support programmes in Georgia’ being released today.
(...) The study shows that many caregivers in Georgia struggle to fulfil their basic obligations of psycho emotional care. There are cases, when adolescents feel that they are not being supported by their parents during some of the most emotional periods, adversely affecting their psychosocial wellbeing. (...) The goal of the research was to collect the basic information on how parenting is understood, perceived and practised by parents/caregivers of adolescent boys and girls in Georgia; how do individual, interpersonal and macro factors affect parenting dynamics and influence parenting styles and practices; as well as where do parents of adolescents and adolescents themselves turn to for formal and informal support.

The UN Emerging Leaders e-Learning programme was an opportunity to frame my experience in a more structured learning style. The materials used in the training and the methodology (mix of self-learning, webinars, homework and group discussions) was a comprehensive package for self-reflection on my style of leading, and what was “right” / “worked” and should continue to be used, or what should be avoided in current and future roles.

integrating new public governance and comparative policy theory”, Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis: Research and
Practice, vol. 19, No. 5, pp. 487–501. (...) It involves trust in the market and in
competitive styles of governance. It allows all types of actors, in particular the private
sector, to deliver public services. (...) Empathy is related to levels of
emotional intelligence, or the ability to regulate one’s own emotions and to
understand others’ emotions.

Ellen Peters, Daniel Romer, Paul Slovic, Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Leisha Wharfield, C. (...) The present results indicate that brief
