On January 8, 2009, our first forum in our “Early Learning For Better Future” (ELBF) series was held, titled “The Human Child.” It was held at the Model Schools of Education. Dr. Omar Ibrahim Al-Mudaifer, a consultant in child and adolescent psychiatry and supervisor of the family therapy program, participated in presenting the opening of the forum, giving a lecture titled “The Human Child.” A select group of pioneers in education in the Arab world also participated in the forum, some of whom came from outside Riyadh.
The female guests who attended the forum discussed topics of great importance to family life. The number of female attendees was very high that day, which attracted the attention of the media, as it was our first forum.
