Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di Thammislam Tait School, Thailand, pada 17–19 Desember 2024 dengan melibatkan 35 orang tua/wali murid. Metode pelaksanaan mencakup tahap persiapan, pelaksanaan parenting session, diskusi interaktif, refleksi, dan evaluasi kualitatif. Instrumen evaluasi berupa lembar observasi partisipasi, panduan diskusi reflektif, dan catatan respons peserta. Materi kegiatan meliputi keterlibatan orang tua dalam pendidikan anak, strategi pendampingan belajar di rumah, komunikasi positif, motivasi belajar, serta pengelolaan teknologi digital.

Hasil evaluasi kualitatif menunjukkan bahwa peserta aktif berdiskusi, mampu mengidentifikasi tantangan pendampingan belajar, serta menyampaikan rencana penerapan komunikasi positif, pengaturan waktu belajar, dan pendampingan penggunaan gawai di rumah.
