Parenting with Purpose in a Changing World - Expert Panel at Festival of Play

Beyond the Basics: Parenting with Purpose in a Changing World by Indigrow

Venue: Saptaparni, Hyderabad
Date & Time: March 1st, Saturday @ 12:00PM - 1:00PM
Duration: 60 minutes

In today’s rapidly changing and increasingly global world, parenting goes beyond meeting our little one’s basic needs. As a community, we find ourselves having to focus on our little one’s  social and emotional development, their understanding of themselves as well as their environment, and their role in it. Big words like conscious parenting, mindfulness, sustainability, empowerment, identity, diversity and inclusion are thrown around - but what do these terms actually mean for us and our little ones, in our everyday lives? 

This conversation aims to inspire parents, educators, and caregivers in their approach to raising their little ones through anecdotes and implementable practical tips.
