In keeping with its commitment to giving the community
exposure to the best ideas and newest trends DPS JC organized effective
parenting workshops in both Janjgir and Champa on January 22rd and
23th respectively.
The resource person, Mrs. Munira H. Dhamani is a well known
Raipur based lecturer and motivational speaker with many internationally
recognized certifications. In the course of several highly interactive
sessions, she discussed with parents the importance of recognizing their
child’s innate aptitude and orientation, as against trying to coercively mould
the child’s personality according to societal expectations.
She stressed on the need for an empathetic connection
between parents and children, which makes words unnecessary as the parents
become attuned to children’s innermost thoughts.
DPS JC Principal, Dr Chetna Sharma, effectively connected
with the parents, discussing DPS-JC’s child centric approach and the vision to
focus on every area of the child’s growth, including skill development and
personal development. The school’s
pledge to ensure that a child grows up to be a responsible, patriotic citizen
with the right moral, ethical and social values , does not end with school
based instruction, she said. It extends to the domestic sphere, with efforts
like the effective parenting workshop which aim at enriching the child’s
environment and contributing to building better communication among school,
student and home.
Workshops on leadership and life skills were also held for
students of classes VI to IX from January 22nd to 25th, in
which the enthusiastic youngsters got the opportunity to enjoy every moment,
even as they learnt essential life skills like anger management and
assertiveness.
