  • From "Instructional to conversational parenting" for the parent of pre-teens and teens (9 to 18yr olds)

    the course is in the form of a live session spread over 5 days commencing from the 20th of May. here are the modules that I will covering:

    How to talk to teenagers so they listen the first time.

    I will show you how to create the space for open communication so whenever anything goes wrong in your teen's life, then instead of saying "my mom shouldn't know about this" he'd say "I need to talk to my mom about this".

    Teaching Teens/pre-teens to think for themselves.

    How do you prepare your teen for the real world? you won't be there forever to guide him in deciding what's right and wrong. It's not always that teens adhere to our advice let alone ask for it. I will teach you how not to force your opinions on your kids and help them harbour questioning mind. One that satisfies only with reasoning.

    Tools for a safe digital online experience

    Screens have found a way into our homes. Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok are the new normal. As a parent, it might give you nightmares. we talk about tackling cyberbullying, sexting, pornography, body image issues. Learn how to comfortably talk about these topics to your teens without it sounding awkward or a sex-ed class.

    Setting boundaries and disciplining your teen without yelling.

    With the help of case studies of other parents, find out the best ways to discipline a teen. yelling, spanking, taking their devices away will work for sure but not for long. it will only encourage them to invent newer ways of not getting caught the next time.

    Raising emotionally stable, independent and happy adults.

    Teens have a lot going on in their minds. Raging hormones, new body changes to adapt to, an urge to experiment, to prove themselves to their peers and parents. All of this makes them unstable. We need to teach them how to process their emotions better. we will talk about research-backed outlets to manage teen feelings like anger, sadness, jealousy, teaching them the true meaning of happiness and more.

    Why join a learning community? Live classes with Q n A
    Pre-recorded sessions if you miss any class
    Lifetime access to the course

  • Today’s episode is for all those parents who want to know more about intellectual disability or have an affected child.

    Have you seen a child who doesn’t act his age? He/she might act childish, have odd mannerisms like flapping hands or he might be drooling, constantly pulling his mum’s dress, keeping his head in a particular position. In medical terms, this disorder is called “intellectual disability” previously known as “mental retardation”

    There are many causes of Intellectual disability but Let’s talk about a genetic condition called fragile x syndrome.It is the most common form of inherited intellectual disability in males and females. To discuss it in great detail we have with us Mrs Shalini Kedia, Chairperson of Fragile X Society-India. Fragile X is one of the leading causes of inherited intellectual disability and Autism worldwide.

    We have spoken about things like:

    If you are planning a pregnancy then, what should you keep in mind before going ahead, with regards to Fragile X syndrome? What is the relationship between Fragile X syndrome and A common learning disability called Autism? Why is diagnoses a problem in India and what do you suggest should be done on the part of parents so they can become aware of this condition Once diagnosed with Fragile X syndrome, what next? What are the problem areas and what sort of therapies, programs can help these kids live a better life? What was the idea behind the fragile x society and how did it get conceptualized? What sort of work does your organization do to support families with fragile x syndrome. How can we reduce the stigma associated with intellectual disabilities and help kids and families struggling with such conditions? Where do these kids stand with regards to settling in society and living an independent life? What sort of vocational courses suit them so they can live a life of dignity without Relying on others.

  • Today’s episode is for all those parents who are struggling with challenging behaviours in children due to the pandemic.

    We will be discussing all these challenges for parents and getting some tangible tips on how to parent better in these times.

    For this, we have with us a special guest all the way from new york, USA.

    She is the author of two best-selling books "Love Your Family Again and Love Your Classroom Again".

    For over 20 years she has worked with families and educators to help kids with challenging behaviours. She has been a guest behavioural expert on national media, including FOX, ABC, NBC and many more.

    She is based in New York City where she connects with teachers on her Facebook group 'Behavior and Beyond and with parents through her membership program 'Parents Doing It ALL'.

    From the preschooler who won't sit still to the tween and teens who are defiant and disrespectful  Her realistic, action-based approaches have resulted in lesser fights, and happier families - dr. Marcie Beigel.

    1- How to make your kids listen

    Be clear in your words and instructions.
    Put your words into action. Follow through instead to just repeating yourself untill you lose it and start yelling
    Celebrate your child’s behaviour

    2- Concerns over screen time use

    Put down your technology
    Tell them what you are doing (i am just checking if my boss mailed me)
    Giving them screen-free time (family time)

  • Today’s episode is for all those parents who are worried about their child’s growth and development.
    For this, we have with us a special guest who is a dear friend and a Pediatric endocrinologist. He has done a specialization in paediatrics followed by a  Post Doctoral Fellowship in Pediatric and Adolescent Endocrinology. He holds special expertise in the management of Juvenile Diabetes Mellitus. Apart from being an avid reader and a  nature enthusiast he is great with kids.
    We have answered questions like:
    1. The child will grow as tall as its parents, myth or fact?
    2. A girl cannot grow after attaining menses- what one should know.
    3. Can growth hormone be given to children who do not have growth hormone deficiency? And is it permissible?
    4. It is normal to get menses early these days - myth or fact?
    5. I didn't grow much because I didn't exercise or cycle enough in childhood- busting the myth
    6. Is there a way to increase my child’s height?
