At Wings and Waves we believe parents and teachers are partners. That's why we host parenting workshops like our JOY of Parenting session.
About the workshop
The session featured speakers Dr. Apurva Rajashekar and Shilpa Banerjee, who spoke with our parents about raising happy, confident and emotionally healthy young children. Parents shared experiences, asked questions and left with practical ideas to try at home.
Themes parents found most useful
- Connection before correction: strong relationships make discipline easier
- Managing screen time in a digital world
- Big feelings: helping children name and handle emotions
- Routines and independence: letting children do more for themselves
- Taking care of yourself: calm parents raise calmer children
Why we run parenting sessions
- Parenting young children is joyful and also tiring and confusing at times
- Parents learn from experts and from each other
- When school and home use similar approaches, children feel secure and thrive
Other ways we partner with parents
Regular parent-teacher meetings, progress reports, updates through our parent app, and invitations to celebrations and events throughout the year.
