First Vishvas Open House Interaction
Theme for the session: A shared journey – Towards Independent Living
“Self-propelling motivation and belief is the only force to nurture and reckon with and diffuse social barriers”. This essence was taken forward in the session facilitated by Dr. Asha Singh and her daughter Ms Maya. An expert in the field of Child development, Dr. Asha Singh, shared her research based valuable inputs to the parent community. Profound insights of her journey as a parent possessed the potential to inspire the educators as well as the parents.
Maya’s effervescent sharing of her attainment of academic, social and professional milestones generated hope and opened new avenues. Through Maya’s narratives from her school years and workplace, Dr. Singh emphasized on the fact that children thrive if a dyadic relationship is premised on implicit trust and belief in their abilities. Sharing the possibilities for independent living, she further elaborated on the significance of having small supportive groups. These groups generate belief, positivity and unflinching support that help nurture the individual optimally.
An interactive and thought provoking session, it left us with a reflection that to overcome any challenges in life, we can learn to convert our despair into humor and laughter. Finally, consistent and collaborative efforts will continue to create a positive and enabling environment for self reliance.
