### Why it exists

Most parenting content online is fragmented advice. Qada is the first structured Arabic course that systematically walks parents through building a child's character across 11 stable foundations, drawn from CASEL's 5 social-emotional competencies, the Farid Academy's 5 pillars, and 14 years of one-on-one fieldwork with thousands of Arab families.
