“Parents need more counseling than children do” – said Dr. Itishree Mishra, a renowned child psychologist in a seminar with parents on 28th Dec 09’. We need to know the interests of children rather than imposing our expectations on them. The topic for the seminar was “Parenting the Children of Information age”. Dr. Mishra said that we should not overlook the feelings of a child. She suggested that our conversation with the children should be according to their age. We cannot expect them to be adults all of a sudden. She also said, that if there is some behavioral problem with the child, we need to look for the reason at home or with the parents, rather than blaming the child for it. Parents have to work in synchronization with school for the betterment of the child.
Next day on 29th Dec 09, the facilitator of the seminar was Chairman of Career Launcher- Mr. Satya Narayan.R. The Seminar was on “How to help your children to achieve their Dream Career”. Reminding the parents of their childhood he said that we had limited career options with us, either to be a doctor or to be an engineer. We had no options but to fit in the frame provide to us. We could not do anything which was of our interest or which fascinated us. We should now give that freedom and support to our children to achieve their dream career.
