At Wings and Waves Preschool, we believe that education is a collaborative journey between the school and the home. To strengthen this bond, we recently hosted our signature parenting seminar, "The Joy of Parenting," specifically designed for our kindergarten parent community.
The session by Apurva Rajasekhar - (Psychologist & Quantum Healing Hypnosis Practitioner ) and moderated by Shilpa Suresh founder of Wings and Waves Preschool was an overwhelming success, filled with insightful discussions, expert advice, and shared experiences from parents navigating the beautiful yet challenging early years of childhood.
1.Why a Parenting Workshop for Kindergarten?
1.Why a Parenting Workshop for Kindergarten?
The transition into kindergarten is a significant milestone. It is a period where children develop foundational social, emotional, and cognitive skills. Our workshop aimed to provide parents with a "roadmap" to support this development effectively while maintaining a stress-free environment at home.
1. The Power of Positive Reinforcement
Our guest speaker, a leading child psychologist, emphasized moving away from traditional discipline toward positive guidance. By acknowledging a child’s effort rather than just the result, parents can significantly boost a child's self-esteem and intrinsic motivation.
2. Building Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
We explored techniques to help kindergarteners identify and express their feelings. Understanding that "all feelings are okay, but not all behaviors are okay" was a major lightbulb moment for many participants.
3. Balancing Screen Time and Sensory Play
In today’s digital age, finding a balance is crucial. The workshop highlighted the importance of sensory-based learning—like clay modeling, gardening, and storytelling—which are core pillars of the Wings and Waves curriculum.
4. Promoting Independence
Simple tasks like packing their school bag or choosing their outfit help kindergarteners develop a sense of agency. We discussed how "scaffolding" (offering support only when needed) fosters long-term confidence.
