SECRETS TO CHANGE YOUR CHILD'S BEHAVIOUR..

Sometimes, we find it difficult to understand
Why kids behave the way they do?
Why disciplining them seems impossible?
Why do they hide things from us?
Why do they back answer?
Where are they learning this from?

Believe it or not, things can improve if we have the right approach and communication tools.

In today's episode, parenting coach Girish Paniker has spoken in detail about Being a Coach and Counsellor to your child. He has also shared gems on positive communication and making children independent. You can reach him on https://girishpaniker.com/.

I had an inclination towards Art and Craft from a young age. Creating something with my own hand is food for my soul’.  Initially I created things purely for my pleasure, but soon I realized that any form of art needs a platform and this gave birth to  Bhule Bisre (things made from recycled material) and Paper Scissors Rock - quilling and crochet. 

My creativity is my expression, something which I would like to put out to the world and not merely for appreciation and money. This thought runs in my family and we believe that there is so much more to a person than just his / her profession. 

Now I am looking forward to learning knitting from my son, who has it as a part of his School curriculum.

Being brought up amongst boys, I was always involved in fights, cricket, running around. I never always felt any different from them . I don’t believe in genderization and my motivation to be physically strong roots from it.  Today, even after having two daughters; feeling good about my body, being in shape and having the freedom to wear short dresses without feeling the cringe keeps me motivated. 

Now, at the age of 45, I run full marathons and am happy that even my daughters are into sports and doing gymnastics at the national level.

 IS YOUR CHILD GIFTED?

Excellent, intelligent, perfectionist, extraordinary are some of the words that you may be using to describe someone with higher ability. Children who are able to perform better as compared to their peers in certain areas or multiple areas  may it be arts, academics, sports, music, languages, dance, leadership etc are called 'Gifted'.

There are so many gifted children around us whose talent / giftedness may go unnoticed or is not given the attention it deserves  just because the skill they excel in is not relevant or with it comes other behavioural problems like sensitivity, pride, low self esteem and so on..

In Today's episode, we have Dr. Devasena Desai, Consultant Psychologist and gifted educator at KGERC with over 25 years of experience to explain how to parent and nurture a gifted child at home or in your vicinity. Get a  deeper understanding towards these children, the behaviour and how to respond to their needs.

Sanitary pads, private body parts, child birth, girlfriends - boyfriends, kissing .. it is always awkward to discuss such topics with kids and answer their unending questions. But at the same time it is of prime importance to satisfy their curiosity in the right manner so they are well equipped and feel trusted, and the communication channel is always open both ways.

In this podcast we are in conversation with Kumkum Jagadish a clinical psychologist, from Mumbai, with extensive experience in counselling, mental health issues and parenting. She is going to equip us to handle awkward questions  our kids throw at us.. questions like

• What is love? Why do girls and boys kiss on the lips?
• Where do babies come from?
•  How to satisfy the curiosity about private parts?
• Why is your chest so big mama?
• What are periods / sanitary pads?

Last 2 years have been full of experiences and a very enriching emotional journey for all of us.

No doubt we have been through ups and downs, sometimes extreme and sometimes manageable but like always we are told to take the positives and not to focus of the negatives!

Today's episode is our attempt to do the same and feel good about the experiences we had.

We are in conversation with Dr. Tina Mistry from Birmingham, UK. Tina is a clinical psychologist, a podcast host, a writer and a speaker on south Asian mental health issues. 

Some highlights of this episode are

• Social distancing got families closer
• Mental health > physical health
• Pandemic gave us more quality time with our children
• It was easier to achieve couple and family goals
• Great opportunity for self reflection as everything slowed down
• We need to make kids understand that there is uncertainty in the world and prepare them for it rather than just protecting them.

We learn from every experience ONLY if we reflect upon it... and now as the world slowly opens up, it is upon each one of us to decide if we want to go back to our previous self or to take learnings from the pandemic seriously and move on..
