Yes, the only qualification being in close association with children.
Can I bring my child along?
This program is for adults / parents only and we would like the group to focus single mindedly on what is being discussed. We are sure your children will benefit a lot from the program through you.
What is the duration of the program?
Different modules are of different duration. Typically a program runs for a period of 8-10 weeks. Sessions are held once a week for 1.5 hours.
Why 8- 10 sessions? Can’t I just come for one session and benefit?
Our program is not lecture based We believe that effective learning through deep and thorough understanding comes from experiencing the skills hands on. 8-10 sessions gives parents the time to go home and put to use the skills that are discussed in the class, come back the following week and share their experience with everyone further cementing the learning. This helps parents clarify and work around problems they may face in practically implementing concepts/skills imparted in the sessions.
Is it necessary for me to attend all sessions?
All the sessions are inter-related and it will be most beneficial if you attend all the sessions.
What if I miss a session?
- There are no make-up classes and no refunds for classes missed. The interactive nature of each session makes it impossible to recreate the learning that happens in the group.
- However you will be given handouts for each aspect covered in class. The facilitator will be happy to work with you on any doubts and clarifications you have.
- You can also mail in your doubts and queries to the e-group that will be created for each group or work with a co participant to catch up with missed sessions.
Can I avail of one to one counseling ?
For parents who have been a part of our core program and are looking at specific inputs or facing road blocks in implementing concepts learnt, we conduct individual sessions to help them out. If you are you looking for individual sessions, get in touch with us.
