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.
