We say children are like clay, we need to shape them when they are still moldable. Hence Parenting plays an extremely important role in child's life.
Generally, we tend to learn parenting from our parents. We adapt strategies of child disciplining that our parents used with us. Obviously we repeat the mistakes that our parents did.

Besides, we need to realize that parenting that was done twenty- thirty years ago is NOT going to work effectively for today's generation. The challenges for today's generation are different and that's why the parenting now should take a different role suitable to today's age.

At Niramay, We guide the parents about healthy parenting so as to avoid the commonly made mistakes which eventually cause some problems with children.

Preventing a problem is definitely a better strategy that solving them after creating them ourselves !!

We also guide parents who sense difficulties with their children. It is very essential for a child to have support from parents when he/ she is facing a behavioral problem.

We offer guidance in emotionally intelligent parenting, for these major areas of child development-
1. From infancy to age three- which is a very tender but very important and formative age and the future personality development is decided by the experiences child gets in this age.
2. From 3 years to Age 10 yrs (pre-teens )- very important age for disciplining and habit formation. You can make or break the child's future through your parenting.
3. Adolescence- Never in the child's entire life, parents feel so confused and frustrated as they are, when their child is in adolescent age. Parents don't have a clue about how to support their teenage son/ daughter without causing friction. So we offer complete guidance for the parents to understand the physical and mental changes in teenagers and how to deal with them effectively. How to effectively discipline them or how to give them sex education.

We offer counseling for parents and children for all behavioral, educational or other problems.
