Sharing some valuable tips on parenting, Ms. Bhardwaj focused upon, open communication with the children, giving them the right push and frequent sharing of their dreams and aspirations.

Ms.  Jyotsna engaged the parents by sharing anecdotes from her own life and asked them to share their own experiences of parenting. She concluded the workshop with a motivating video, ‘The Push’, urging the parents to trust their own parenting instincts of how much to hold or let go. Ending her fervent appeal, she reminded all of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, wherein every child should be given safety, security, self-esteem and love for self-actualization.

The workshop was a truly enriching experience for the parents as it gave them many valuable insights for handling the children in their sensitive years by understanding their psyche, bonding together and helping them cope with anger, stress and competition.
