The 3 day workshop about Child Psychology was conducted at my daughter's school with mixed participants of 5 teachers, 5 mothers and 5 fathers.
The concept of COLORS, very simple yet, backed up with a huge amount of effort, research and relevance. The concept of identifying NATURE provided capabilities and enabling us with the insight to supplement the natural and human induced gaps by way of differentiated NURTURE was an exciting learning.
The workshop in itself was more than the slides and Mr. Sharma’s talk, we participants, shared the enormous amount of experience and live situations that we were struggling to cope with resulting in discomfort for the kids. Mr. Sharma provided guidance by way of simple suggestions which majorly involves modified perspective to view the situation.
From the professional environment, this comes very close to MBTI, but the concept of COLORS in itself is easier to implement towards kids. Upcoming excitements include taking this concept to the larger group of parents and teachers in the school.
Considering that a kids’ immediate family has evolved from once being a large joint family to now (mostly) nuclear and moving towards atomic (single parent) coupled with the world evolving through various revolutions (from industrial to digital) and the future is most likely about Automation (smart homes, driver-less cars, analytics and pattern recognition), knowledge of which is very limited at this time to us (caregivers) – the eternal question of Are we enabling them for the real future? remains.
Thank you for the great sharing.
