Event Details : “Parenting Today” a talk & group discussion with Dr. Megha Hazuria Gore.
Child development research shows that while each child is “pre-wired” with certain traits, temperament and abilities, it’s the interaction with their environment, especially their parents, which ultimately determines how these characteristics are manifested as they grow and develop into competent adults. Development is the result of “transactions” between the child and his/her environment.
Each transaction results in new learning which results in the development of skills and traits. The right frequency, quality and intensity of interactions between children and their environment will result in each child reaching his or her full potential. In power and breadth of influence, no ‘transaction’ equals the influence of the family. Parents introduce children to the physical world through the opportunities offered for play and exploration of objects. The attachments children form with parents and siblings last a lifetime, and they serve as models for relationships in the wider world. Discipline and arguments with parents and siblings provide children with important lessons of compliance and cooperation. The home is a child’s first context for learning language, cognitive skills, and social and moral values of a specific culture.
Research has also shown that nurturing in the form of spending sufficient quality time with your child that is fun and enjoyable for parent and child leads to happy, healthy, successful kids. Kids also need structure. Parents are the key to helping children develop self-discipline and positive character traits.
This discussion aims to provide general insights into communication, discipline and different styles of parenting and the ‘parental fit’. We also hope this group discussion format will lead to a better understanding of the challenges and joys of parenthood.
