There is a Swedish saying “Det finns inget dåligt väder, bara dåliga kläder”
Translation: There is no bad weather, only bad clothes.
Many parents are worried about the future. We all know that bad weather will come in our children’s lives.
Why wish for a lighter load, when we can build a stronger back.
Why wish for an easy happy life, when we can empowered the child to negotiate life.
Why worry about outside clothes, when we get the child to develop the shield inside.
Shield of responsibility, resourcefulness, creativity, ingenuity, relationships and interdependence, emotional power and reflective wisdom, and so on.
You make your own list, but remember children are born with all of these. Now its our job to focus on these and help children develop them.
We started the Jagriti program for parents and teachers in 2002 as an intense dialogue to awaken the facilitator within us, to develop the child inside-out!
The 60th online batch of Jagriti starts today Friday, 19th Jan 2024.
