Courage to encourage - The working parent dilema

Image
As parents, we often find ourselves juggling countless responsibilities—work, household tasks, and raising children. In the midst of it all, it can be easy to focus on what needs to be fixed or improved, especially when it comes to our kids. But what if the key to helping them grow lies not in constant correction, but in appreciation and encouragement? The Story of Riya and Her Son, Aarav Riya, a working mom, had always been dedicated to her career and family. But lately, she noticed her 8-year-old son, Aarav, becoming more withdrawn and less excited about school. His grades had started to drop, and Riya found herself constantly nagging him to complete his homework or study more. The more she pushed, the more Aarav seemed to retreat into his shell. One evening, during a particularly heated moment, Aarav blurted out, “You only notice when I do something wrong!” That hit Riya hard. She hadn’t realized that her well-meaning advice and constant correction had overshadowed something far mor...

The Digital World is Causing Anxiety

Rising Anxiety in Youth: The Role of Social Media and the Digital World As a wellness and parental coach, I have observed a concerning trend among young people today—a rise in anxiety and related mental health challenges, exacerbated by their interaction with social media and the digital world. While digital platforms offer unprecedented opportunities for connection and self-expression, they also pose significant risks to mental well-being, particularly in adolescents and young adults. The Growing Epidemic of Anxiety According to the World Health Organization (WHO), anxiety disorders affect approximately 3.6% of the global population. Among adolescents aged 10-19, this number jumps significantly, with estimates suggesting that nearly 10-20% experience some form of mental health condition, including anxiety. Social media use has been identified as a critical contributing factor to this trend. Social Media and Its Psychological Impact Studies reveal a strong correlation between excessive...

Finding your Intelligence - Understanding Multiple Intelligence

Image
When it comes to guiding our children’s growth and career paths, we often fall back on traditional ideas of intelligence—grades, test scores, and academic skills. But intelligence is much more diverse and dynamic.  According to Dr. Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences, people are smart in many different ways. Recognizing and nurturing these unique intelligences in our children can open up a world of potential, leading them to fulfilling careers aligned with their natural strengths.  Here’s a closer look at Gardner’s eight types of intelligence and the potential career paths for each. 1. Linguistic Intelligence This type of intelligence is about language—using words effectively in writing, speaking, or both. People with strong linguistic intelligence tend to excel at storytelling, reading, writing, and debate. Career Paths: Writer, Journalist, or Author: Perfect for those who love storytelling and expressing ideas through words. Public Speaker or Orator: An ideal ...

Who is my teacher?

Who is my teacher? When I was small on this planet I didn't know who I was?  You taught me to say my name You taught me about everyone around me When I was small and could not walk  You held my hand, let me fall only to rise again When I was small and put food in a spoon  You showed me my mouth so I can learn to eat When I was small and took my favorite colour to draw  You gave me paper and showed me the shapes and colours When I didn't know how to love  You taught me to say " I love you" When I didn't know how to read  You taught me A B C D When I wanted music  You taught me to sing and dance When I was wrong you corrected me told me what is right When I was lonely and needed a friend  You took me out to play When I was low you taught me to smile When I was scared and had nightmares  You took my fears away When I had failure  You taught me to never give up and go on When I was lost in love  You made s...

Parenting in the new world

Image
     What is parenting? Why is it important? Can I learn to be a parent? If you ask our parents they may say, "Once you have  kid you will know how to handle the situation. Parenting comes naturally." Yes! Parenting comes naturally but effective and empowering parenting can be learnt. But! Who will teach that? Well! A parenting coach who will give the right techniques and teach you the right method of effective parenting.  You can google it no doubt but can you learn a job by just googling. Wouldn't it be better if you had a short term course or have someone you can all upon when you need help or are stuck? Well parenting coaches do that. They trained and skilled to help you become a better parent. There are many parent group's.But many are run by just parents who work through trial and error. Would you learn about marketing from a friend who gives random ideas or would you go into a course and learn about it from a professional who know all about it and will gi...
