If you mix BaNO(3)2 + NaOH what would be the chemical chemical reaction in formula?

SUMMARY
The chemical reaction between Barium Nitrate (Ba(NO3)2) and Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is a double displacement reaction. The balanced equation for this reaction is Ba(NO3)2 + 2NaOH → 2NaNO3 + Ba(OH)2. It is crucial to note that Barium has a valency of 2, resulting in the formation of two hydroxide ions in Barium Hydroxide (Ba(OH)2). The initial reaction presented was incorrect, highlighting the importance of proper balancing in chemical equations.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of double displacement reactions

a simple double displacement reaction
Ba (NO_{3})_{2} + 2Na OH \rightarrow 2NaNO_{3} + Ba (OH)_{2}
balance away!
p.s. dexter is right since Ba has 2 valences there will be 2 OH ions in barium hydroxide
Ba (NO_{3})_{2} + 2Na OH \rightarrow 2NaNO_{3} + Ba (OH)_{2}
balance away!

The reaction provided is incorrect.
Ba\left(NO_{3}\right)_{2}+NaOH\rightarrow NaNO_{3}+Ba(OH)_{2}\downarrow
Do you see the difference?
