“My son is so hyper”, “My daughter doesn’t listen to me”, “My kids just snack and don’t eat properly” these were the concerns raised by parents who attended an interactive session with Dr.Shakila Naidu, our school psychologist on 24th of Nov 2010.
As part of emotional health week, OIS planned an “Awareness program on Effective parenting for developmental needs.” Tackling physical and behavioural issues through emotional intelligence was the theme of the session. Dr.Shakila Naidu elaborately discussed the relevant issues such as cognitive stimulation, recreational choices, food refusal, temper tantrums, speech and writing difficulties etc. Parents actively participated in the interaction session. They discussed about their difficulties while tackling the children.
Dr.Shakila gave a lot of useful tips like “making time for family activites”, “talk with and listen to your child”, “teach your child right from wrong” etc., to them. Parents were given handouts at the end of the session.Parents went enlightened and satisfied that their concerns were solved.

A great awareness programme which is very needed for the parents to guide their children in a right way. International schools in Hyderabad conduct interactive sessions with parents to help them guide their children better.
