Beyond Rote Learning
In 2026, Indian parents are shifting their focus from academic pressure to Emotional Intelligence (EQ). Why? Because in an AI-driven world, empathy and self-awareness are a child’s greatest assets.
What is Conscious Parenting?
It’s about responding to your child’s needs rather than reacting to their behaviors. It involves validating their feelings while setting healthy, firm boundaries.
Tips for Building EQ at Home:
- Validate Feelings: Instead of saying “Don’t cry,” try saying “I see you’re upset, and that’s okay.”
- Model Behavior: Children learn more from what you do than what you say.
- Digital Safety as EQ: Teaching children to navigate the digital world with kindness and critical thinking.
Raising an emotionally intelligent child is the best investment you can make for their future success.
