5 day series of Personality Development Program for Growing ChildrenDay 1 – ExcerptsAs a child, I have always seen my parents taking decisions that are tried and tested. I witnessed some resistance in the family on trying new things, foods or talking to strangers. I also saw there were also rules on whom to trust and whom not to.

Little did anybody knew the impact of these small things on a child’s mind? During my growing years (and I still see them), I started noticing that I was living a boxed life… I had too many “To dos & Not to dos” while all my other friends are free and unconventional. All of them, I used to see, could laugh, cry, fight at the drop of a hat. They had no hang ups on expressing what they felt while for me, everything was difficult. There’s always someone watching and guarding me and stopping me to do anything beyond a limit – smiling, laughing, running, talking, fighting, teasingLater in life, I started realising that these are my patterns in life. I saw how I am resistant to take risks – whether new food, new people, new places. How I am always not ready to face challenges because that will bring another set of new people, environment, situations.THIS IS BIGGER AS A RISK.

There could be challenges with your child in expressing some or all emotions. FIND OUT
