Parenting can be challenging even though we always have the child’s best interest at heart. The parenting classes conducted by Chandrika helps parents address the many challenges that they face in their parenting journey. She does not offer a ‘one size fits all’ or any ‘quick-fixes’ as strategies as she passionately believes that parenting is an inside-out process; a process of learning, unlearning and relearning who we are: first as ourselves, and then, as parents. The classes are designed in way that helps parents gradually understand their own parenting styles, the beliefs they hold and their behaviors- some which may serve them well and some which they may want to change- so as to enable them to parent from their authentic selves. The classes have been designed using the principles of Cognitive behavior Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Mindfulness and from many Philosophical readings.
These sessions are for parents or single parents, who would like private sessions. Here we will focus on a variety of issues which are specific to you and your families. Ideally in these sessions we would agree on specific goals and work towards the outcome of these goals.
These classes are conducted in groups with five or more parents. The classes are offered in two parts: Part 1 and 2 ; with six sessions in each, and each session with a duration of one and half hours; of which half hour is for questions.The classes are conducted weekly or fortnightly.
