Welcoming your child after being apart

As our children’s eyes open to a new day, how do we greet them? Is it in a distracted, hurried way, while thinking about all the chores of the day and mentally making to-do lists? Do we often sound something like this? To our 3-year-old, ‘Shreya, come, come, wake up kanna, it is 7.15! Time...

Can’t imagine where we would be without this course. Grateful to Snigdha for her guidance and patience.  Grateful to God for helping us find Parenting matters. 🙏🏽

Parenting education is should be a human human right to all, And it should be mandatory  To be trained on.

Raising emotionally strong, confident, and connected children is probably the most important responsibility of a society. As it’s children will one day become adults and play roles advancement of that society.

Thank you to Parenting Matters, For pursuing this noble cause. 🙏🏽

A Short, Crisp n On-point course for parents of tweens n teens. I joined this course, not because I was facing any issues. This course enables parents to be more empathetic and understanding of their kids and their issues. I personally highly recommend this course.

The course was extremely insightful and we were glad to have Sujata as our facilitator, who shared the information in a very patient and understanding manner. We really enjoyed being part of the course which helped consolidate information across sources and provide a balanced view and approach.

Parenting Matters - the 8 week program has brought in immense changes in me, which are practically possible. There are times which the session made me realize and recognize the patterns and with the changes proactively made, I am able to see a new type of Parent in me, and the parenting journey is never a destination, it's a journey. At times, it shall b chaotic, messy, but with the tools and Mindfulness learnt frm the session, parenting is inspiring and awesome fr me to engage my kid actively and healthily...many thanks to the facilitator Seema who actively and positively made us engage and also listened to our queries and answered us positively then and there...A worthy session as a gift to parents.

I began searching for Parent Counseling sessions online when I realised there are very few dedicated Centres like Parenting Matters that deal with one on one parenting sessions. The concept of Be your Childs life coach resonated woth me and I enrolled for their 5-10 age group sessions

Seemanthini was our Group Mentor and I have to tell you that she took us through various sessions very patiently.It wasn't just about solving problems at hand but also tools to understand your child adequately, identify and address the root cause - with a realisation that one needs to be regulated first.
It has made a world of difference to my approach with my child and some tricks work like magic :)

I wholeheartedly thank Seemanthini and the entire team for taking on all the efforts,keeping oneselves updated with the latest on managing child psychology.

It helps that they keep checking on you and it fosters that confidence that they have your back!

Thank you once again and iblook forward to future sessions with you!
