Social-emotional learning · Mumbai

Every parent is raising two children

Their own, and the one they still carry. We work with new parents, expecting parents and young adults keeping childhood memories and experiences as the foundation to work on their social and emotional learning curve acquiring and developing their personal competencies and professional effectiveness

The pattern you didn't choose

If connecting with your child feels hard, it is not a character flaw

It is more likely a pattern you learned before you could talk, passed down from the way you were parented. Nobody chose it. It was simply what got modelled, and it settled in early

The useful part is that a learned pattern can be unlearned. It takes repetition and it takes support, but the wiring that carries these patterns stays capable of change well into adult life

The alarm. It fires before thinking starts, which is why a child in the middle of a meltdown cannot reason their way out of it

What we do
