The inculcation of global standards in schooling calls for the introduction of an effective parenting program as well. There is a wide gap in teaching methodology between generations. Although the basic concepts remain more or less the same, the needs and demands of today’s children from their parents have evolved significantly. There has also been a marked change in the working styles, demographics and societies as a whole as far as the parent community is concerned.
The traditional Indian households were centred on the father as the primary bread-earner and the mother as the homemaker. With more and more women working now, the children get dissipated and sporadic attention from parents. Focussed attention has become a fundamental need in today’s parenting paradigm due to the increasing paucity of time. Our parenting program concentrates on filling this need-gap and making efficient and effective utilization of the limited time available for parents with their wards. Through research and practice, we have concentrated on developing a parenting program which is evenly spread over the entire K-12 lifetime of the child.
