“It takes a village to raise a child” is more than a saying. It’s a reminder that the well-being of our children depends on the strength of our families, communities, and support systems.

In this conversation, Dr. Sue Ann Barratt explores how historical and social influences continue to shape parent-child relationships in Trinidad and Tobago, and why strengthening family relationships through positive parenting and healthy communication is critical to improving outcomes for children.

This discussion forms part of Childline’s campaign around our recent report, ‘A Snapshot of Problems Faced by Children in T&T’ and leads into the upcoming ‘It Takes a Village’ Symposium, to be hosted by UWI’s IGDS in the last quarter of 2026.
