The Khaitan School, Noida, conducted the second session of its much-appreciated initiative, Morning Musings, on 26th July 2025. Designed as an interactive platform to promote open conversations between parents and school professionals, the session was co-moderated by Ms. Pooja Ahuja (Primary School Counsellor) and Ms. Kuheli Chatterjee (HoD – SEN).
The focus of the session was on nurturing young minds through collaborative parenting and education, where both parents and educators acknowledged the crucial roles that family, school, and the larger community play in shaping a child’s emotional, academic, and social growth.
The session began on an encouraging note with the parents of Aritro (Class 4E) sharing heartfelt feedback on how the Morning Musings platform has positively impacted their child’s behaviour and work habits. They attributed this progress to the consistent support and partnership between the school and home environment.
Several parents voiced a common concern — children today often show resistance to following instructions and prefer having things their own way. Another shared challenge was the difficulty in cultivating reading habits in young learners. A touching anecdote came from a parent who noticed her child imitating her routine and eventually beginning to maintain a personal daily schedule, highlighting the power of modelling behaviour.
The counsellors emphasized the importance of routines, the influence of observational learning in children, and the need for mindful screen time. The session concluded with a lively and productive brainstorming exercise, where parents and educators exchanged strategies to support children in reaching their full potential.
The interactive session reaffirmed that when all stakeholders come together with shared goals and empathy, children receive the strong foundation they need to grow into confident, balanced individuals. Morning Musings continues to be a valuable initiative in nurturing this collaborative spirit.
