A webinar on “Parenting during covid times” was organised for parents of students of senior school on 19th September’2020. Resource person, Mr. Sushant Kalra, founder- Parwarish Institute of Parenting emphasised on the parenting skills with specific reference to the turbulent times. Importance of identifying the “feelings” which adolescents go through at this stage goes a long way in helping them cope with their emotions. Mr. Kalra also stressed the importance of enhancing one’s listening skills as parents, without becoming judgemental thus increasing the effectiveness of child-rearing. Strategies to help develop a healthy parent-adolescent bond were shared. The webinar ended with an interactive discussion wherein queries of parents related to the ongoing and everyday challenges which one faces while dealing with youngsters were addressed.
