Parents are Brain Sculptors

This was the opening statement of a talk that I attended by a renowned parent educator from Los Angeles, “Parents are Brain Sculptors”. She went on to describe how science has now discovered that the interaction of a child with his or her caregivers shapes the architecture of the child’s brain. Oh my gosh! Can...

Blame it on the brain

In our workshops the most common question that parents ask is – Why doesn’t my child listen to me and do what I say? Why is it so difficult to get children to obey? BRAIN FACT: The answer is, actually, quite simple – very often, children are not able to listen to us because what...

Kids do well if they can

“Kids do well if they can” – these words from the book “Raising Human Beings” by Dr. Ross Greene were very powerful for me. It made me realise that most of the time we are busy scolding, correcting and pushing our kids because we believe that they are not interested in their own development. We...

Why are children feeling unsafe ?

I opened today’s paper to read an article about four girls in Vellore who jumped into a well after their teacher scolded them. The teacher had reprimanded them for not doing well in academics and asked them to bring their parents to school the next day. Following the incident, the teacher and principal of the...

Why every child needs to laugh and cry!

Most often we are comfortable accepting our children’s happiness or excitement, but we tend to discourage them from expressing emotions like anger, hurt, fear or disappointment. Our conditioning makes us believe that our role as parents is to always keep our child happy and positive. For example: When we see our child crying or throwing...

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. 🙏🏽

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  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!
