‘Good parenting’

nurtures  accommodative and happy children.

Needless   to say that childhood is the most significant phase in any person’s   life because it determines what kind of person the child grows into. A   man is the product of the parenting, the immediate surroundings, the   education, the influences he had as a child.

The   modern world has thrown us all onto an unstoppable wheel of material   pursuits, pleasures and cut-throat competition and we have been running   so fast in building our careers, making more money and increasing our   assets that we do not find time to be with our children and see them   grow in the right way taking care of their physical, psychological,   emotional and spiritual needs. The explosion of internet, social media   and the invention of modern gadgets have, ironically, made things more   complicated.

Now, more than ever   before, parenting has become a very tough task and one that calls for  an  immediate attention because the well-being of the very society and   country we are living in depends on the attitude and the outlook of the   children we nurture.

Parenting  does  not confine itself to satisfying the physical needs of the  children and  giving them education and if it does it only means  pursuing more money  because more money means, at least as the society  sees it today, more  delicious or varied food, better and expensive  clothing, more spacious  and luxurious shelters and costlier education.  Though the parental urge  to provide everything better for the children  can be neither debated nor  scorned, there lies beyond all this the  ‘heart of parenting’- the  efforts of the parents to love, care for,  understand, admonish, guide,  respond and respect their children so that  they grow into healthy social  individuals capable of making their  lives happy and thus spreading  happiness into others’ lives too.

It   is indispensably necessary to instill in children the joyful need of   learning, healthy attitudes, habits and positive traits so that they   grow up to become accommodative and happy individuals. 

Though   parenting is a natural and an instinctive skill, the complexities of   modern life have made it very challenging and complicated. Hence a   platform to talk about what we can do to overcome the challenges and   become better parents would be very useful and that is what this   workshop on the art of parenting is all about.

Please   join us at the workshop where great minds come to talk about how we  can  instill good learning habits among the children, how they can be   motivated to cultivate good work culture, how human values and positive   traits can be instilled in them and in the process how we can enjoy  the  blissful feeling of becoming a better and mindful parent to our  little  angels.
