Why Is Parenting Education Important?

Being a parent is one of life’s greatest joys. It is also the biggest responsibility you will ever take up. Today, being a parent involves so much more than just being a provider of food, clothing, shelter, and education.

Children are not mere puppets who will abide by your set rules. The dynamics of the relationship were never that simple. In today’s fast, technology-driven, self-reliant world of nuclear families, parents sorely miss the advice of their wise and experienced elders. Truly, some hand-holding is not just welcome, it is necessary. With that in mind, we have designed the Know Your Child and Know Your Teen workshops.

I want to take this course but...

Do we really need a workshop to raise our own children? Generations of parents have been doing this on their own.

On the contrary, the nuclear family is a fairly modern concept. Older generations had elders in the house, and established codes that all the members of the family subscribed to. In today’s globalized and liberalized world, the lines are not so clearly drawn. It is each to his/her own policies and philosophies. And the challenges of this generation are also unique. In this scenario, this workshop can help point you in the right direction - be that guiding light in the dark.

Can a two-hour workshop really help me deal with my issues with raising my children?

Parenting is a lifelong process. However, in these two hours, we do a root cause analysis of children’s behavioral patterns and equip parents with knowledge to help children blossom to their full potential. These inputs are also vital to preserving the beauty of your relationship with your child/teen as they move towards adulthood.

What sort of issues can this workshop help me with?

It includes an understanding of common issues like food habits, behavioral issues, career choices, peer pressure, communication gaps, excessive screen time...you name it. The workshop is an interactive session, which will help you understand the reason behind these common childhood/teenage behaviors.

Can I bring my children to the workshop?

This is a workshop only for parents.

I'm a working parent coping with many demands. Will I need any extra support to implement the guidelines shared at the workshop?

The insights gained during the workshop will help you balance your work pressure and parenting in a better manner. You will feel equipped to handle your child's/teen’s behavior with compassion and understanding.

What if my child shows severe attention deficit disorder behavior? Will this workshop help me?

We recommend taking your counselor’s advice for this condition. However, the root cause analysis of various childhood behaviors will help you understand your child/teen better. This paves the way for a stronger parent-child bond.

I'm confused whether my child needs counseling.

The KYC/ KYT workshops will help you identify some of the reasons behind a child’s/teen’s difficult behavior. This may equip you with the answers you seek. 

The online world of schooling has overwhelmed my child. He's addicted to games and the internet. Will this workshop be able to guide me?

Addictive behavior in children and teens stem from a deeper issue at an emotional level. The workshop will help you become aware of common reasons. We recommend our children and teens courses as a long-term remedy for addictions.

I have a special child. Will this workshop help me?

Parents of special children need a lot of patience, compassion, positivity, and energy. The workshops will definitely help identify good practices for your child’s daily routine. We also recommend that parents learn and practice stress relief techniques to manage their days more efficiently.  

The pandemic has caused a change of routine and behaviour in my child/teen. In such an unprecedented situation, I don’t know how to deal with some of the negative changes I see. Can this workshop help?

Yes! This workshop will help you understand the root cause of your child’s/teen’s behavior and also help you identify how you can help them make a positive shift in their daily routine. It will help you decode your child’s/teen’s behavioral changes in relation to the pandemic, as well as other age-related issues that may arise.
