Device Addiction

One reason kids use devices is because
1. they have nothing else to do
2. homes are far away from friends.
3. they don’t have friends or cant make them ( due to shyness or past bad experiences).
4. parents are always judging them, shouting at them or don’t spend time with them.
5. some parents end up comparing one child to another.
6. and finally, perhaps obviously, the child has gotten used to the stimulation of devices.

What happens in the program.
What is mind priming and how does it work.
1. A common problem for people is that they find it hard to do what they know to do.
2. The fallacy is that they don’t have will power. No one can have will power for everything.
3. The problem comes from the fact that our brain stores knowledge in separate place than where behaviour comes from.
4. The solution is therefore coming from two solutions. First is to calm our conscience mind using chitt Yoga and the second is to bring new learning into the behavioural parts of the brain using mind priming.
5. What is mind priming – it’s the use of future based language to bring about desirable change. This is a simple definition.
6. Future based language changes behaviour because the future we envision brings the change we want.
7. Just knowing about future is not enough. Embedding it into the behaviours is what makes the difference.
8. With the right training Every person has the capacity to alter their future.
9. Therefore we use Chitra yog and mind priming to transform the kids behaviour.
What all problems are solved.
1. You may have wondered at time, why despite all your care, tuitions, good teachers at school ( at least most of them), online apps and whatnot – why is my child not studying or scoring as good as they can.
2. Today, let us look at the common issues that students face when they are unable to study or score marks, even when they do study.
3. The entire scope of this can not be covered in an email, but reading the points below, you will get an idea. You will also know how we resolve these issues in our Study Success for Teens program. Here they are in the most common order
4. 1. Improving Weakened executive function – lack of self discipline, procrastination and avoidance of duties. This is essential for most students because if they do not even put the effort then they can not hope for good results.
  2. Inability to focus and concentrate – racing thoughts, too much day dreaming, being distracted by other people, inability to concentrated. This part is required to start enabling students to be able to learn better, sit for longer, not take washroom breaks every few minutes.
  3. Finding subjects hard and not being able to learn despite putting in the efforts, forgetting what they have learnt and dislike for particular subjects. Some students find these problems despite putting the effort and can often be heartbreaking.
  4. Fear of exams, anxiety, low confidence and self belief. This is a common issues especially if students have tried but not scored good marks or an overly critical tutor has been harsh with them. Often, a lack of willing to study is a lack of confidence in their abilities.
  5. Need to mend relationships. Anger, frustration , deeper bonding with parents. Often parent do not realise but distance, non-communication or being isolate means that kids turn to social media or friends for fulfilling their emotional needs. We need to mend their relationship with parents so they can feel at home in their own home. On the other hand, rude or harsh words from kids can be heartbreaking for parents. This section therefore improves the overall atmosphere of the family.
  6. Digital deaddiction – this is sometimes done as the very first change and we will help the child reduce TV, video watching, gaming and social media use.
  7. At times, we need to help parents become more effective with things like setting firm boundaries for the kids, being overly stressed or venting frustrations on their kids due to their own life challenges.
  8. Additionally, if required, the program helps with
    1. stopping to sleep late, not waking up on their own or sleeping poorly.
    2. Reducing shyness or fear of meeting people ( which keeps them quiet in class).
5. As you can see, helping a child go from the current state to one where they are happy, productive and well learning students may require a number of inputs.
6. All kids and families are different and therefore we need to go through a diagnostic phase, the start of which is with booking a call with us.
7. If your child is in 6th grade or above, we can help you transform your child’s study performance and your relationship with them. Book a call now.
Overpacked schedules = low scores.
1. section 1 :So often we find kids with overpacked
2. When I asked Jyoti’s mom make a routine for him, this is what it looked like
  1. 6:30 Wake up
  2. 7:30 departure for school
  3. 4:30 return from school
  4. 5 PM Math tuition
  5. 6:30 PM Physics tuition
  6. 8:30 Dinner
  7. 9 PM study time
  8. 11:30 PM sleeping time.
3. Looks pretty good. right?
4. The only problem is that this looks good on paper, but does not get implemented in real life.
5. And this is not even the worst one’s
6. section 2 :Let us see what are common mistakes made when creating child routine.
  1. A child is not a train and so their routine’s can not look like one. Back to back activities with no time for recuperation.
  2. the brain does not learn when going back to back. In such a routine the mind has no time to learn – assimilation of knowledge happens when the brain is processing the information and not when it is consuming new information.
  3. Physical activity , improve blood flow to the brain improving learning and cognition.
  4. For a fully functional child, there is need for time to play, time to spend with family or some non-screen fun.
  5. One of the easiest thing to compromise is sleep and yet sleep is the most important thing for assimilation of knowledge.
7. section 3 :Here is how to create a good routine
  1. Keep it light.
  2. Tuitions for subjects that they find most trouble with.
  3. Leave time for self study and practice. ( if they dont study, read below).
  4. Schedule family time ( yes, schedule it, like you schedule work meeting).
  5. Give them time for non screen entertainment.
8. Overall, a routine needs to allow for enough time for self study, for non-screen relaxation and some emotional nourishment.
9. Section 4 – But then the question comes, what to do if your child does not self study, or is falling behind in class or parents have no time in their schedule to spend with the child.
10. If you are dealing with such a scenario then we can be of help with our (program name) program –
11. Book a call with us and we will tell you how you can
  1. make your child a self- disciplined student, without any monitoring from you.
  2. help them make any subject easy

#9: Where does discipline come from – the psychology and biology of it

As we have progressed through the generations, we have come to understand more and more about what drives people.
In the industrial revolution, where work output was directly proportional to the number of hours worked, things are different in the knowledge age.
However many teachers and educational setups are still stuck in the industrial age notions.
Which brings us to the topic of discipline.
Discipline is one of the most coveted traits.
Why – because it means that we can do what needs to be done without being swayed away by temptations, laziness or procrastination.
Life is full of temptations in the modern times. There are unhealthy (but tasty) foods to eat, time wasting programs to watch and tasks that can be delayed without any severe consequences.
Without the mental muscle to avoid these temptations, it is common for most people ( and kids) to give in to these impulses.
The problem is not that kids get distracted easily with these temptations – but there is a bigger problem.
That problem is the
What is discipline.
1. In short it is our ability to guide ourselves in the way we want. For example, if we want to avoid eating fast food, discipline is the ability to resist whenever we have the option to eat some. Or to finish homework at the right time avoiding delays.
Why is it important.
1. While it may be clearly understood why discipline is so important for success and happiness, it is important to look at some less known factors.
  1. Delaying gratification: Whenever we can resist getting what we really want, so we can get something much bigger or better later is shown to be the simplest route to success ( as was displayed in the marshmallow experiment).
  2. Resisting temptations : Most things that are good for us are tasteless, boring or unappealing in some other way. This is why products like mobile phones, fast food or cigarettes can become so widely used because they tempt us into instant gratification, which is satisfying in the immediate term but disruptive in the longer term.
  3. Respect from self and others : Whenever we are able to do what we know is the right thing to do, it increases our confidence, self worth and respect. The long term rewards of discipline are not just for the external benefits we get ( career, health etc), it is also hugely beneficial because we star to see ourselves differently.
Where does it come from
1. Before that let us see where discipline does NOT come from. If we are talking about a strict environment – for example, a hostel or a sports camp, then discipline can be somewhat forced upon someone. But this is too hard for most families to implement – because parents also need to live their lives.
2. So that leaves us with self discipline – which is the ultimate form of discipline because it does not depend on some external force.
3. So in the context of families and studies, here is what not to do for instilling discipline.
  1. by asking kids to be disciplined ( without being disciplined yourself). It’s not your fault but it’s not theirs either.
  2. Physical or emotional punishments like beatings, slaps, taunts, harsh words comparisons – if you administer these regularly, you will notice the impact of such actions reducing on your child and perhaps they will become distant, aloof or start to resent you ( after all, we want our kids to be disciplined AND in loving relationships with us. Right ?).
4. So in short, self discipline, which could be the ultimate goal of any parent does not come from external factors.
5. When it comes to seeing where discipline comes from, let us consider psychological and biological sources.
6. Psychologically, discipline comes from goals that are aligned with the values of a child. This means that if the child is being asked to do things that they are ALREADY committed to doing, then discipline is much easier. This is especially hard in case of studies ( and topic of another article) because most students find studies to be boring, pointless and a real burden. Later in life, if the kids are lucky enough, they will be into kinds of work that are aligned with their values and hence discipline will not be an issue.
7. Biologically, discipline comes from the frontal cortex of the brain. This is the part of the brain which tells us the right from the wrong. This is also called the executive brain.
8. The problem with too many distractions and temptations in the modern world, the challenge for most people ( and kids) is to be able to exercise this part of the brain, which gets weaker with lack of use.
9. The executive brain can be trained using different methods such as
  1. Rewarding small steps – Break down a goal that you may set for the child into the smallest possible steps. For example, ifyou would like them to study for 3 hours a day, help them start with as short a time as possible (even 5 minutes is a start). Then reinforce how they achieved a goal and keep repeating with progressively higher goals. This method allows the child to feel accomplished and encourages better behaviour. Through practice, the executive brain becomes stronger. While simple to do, this method can be challenging because it requires parents to keep a consistent practice of having the child do these incremental steps.
  2. Mind Priming, guided visualisations or other techniques that help with neural reprogramming can help bring discipline into a child much faster. These techniques, can use the natural workings of the brain to bring strength to the frontal cortex.
10. Discipline is closely associated with motivation. So if your child is feeling emotionally hurt ( by some problems in the school or some other issue)

1. When you ask advice from parents who have their kids in the school where people have their own kids – you wont get the right advice – confirmation bias, not wanting admitting to be wrong.

Content : don’t lose your credibility by shouting and nagging on your child.
Content : teachers opinion should be towards academics only – during my daughter’s PTM I saw a teacher praising a child’s obedience to the parents delight – but I asked myself – is the child learning that obedience is the way to be successful in life ? If so then that would be the wrong thing to learn.
Content – when selecting a school Fon out what their culture is like , how much do the teachers get paid, what is their selection criteria, do they have relatives of the owner in staff who never get removed – a school is a business – and should be run like one.
Content – have you unknowingly made your child as a tool of feeling superior ? I met a very smart woman, smartly dressed, perfect english, very talkative but her daughter had attempted suicide because she did not feel good enough for her mom. Dont do that to your child, give them a safe space.

FRom Daniel Pink’s book on “Drive” – mastery, autonomy and purpose – are what drive motivation – let us see how parents, schools and other “grown ups” damage the kids’ motivation.
When I saw mummy and Khushi talk I noticed something – Khushi was talking how going to Bangalore is a new situation and her mind is dealing with that. And Mummy was giving her advice – without really listening to her – this made me think about the circular problem of (1) people wanting to talk about their problems – instead of doing something about it and (2) people – qualified or otherwise – want to give advice to these people – this makes the advice giver feel important or helps them make money by becoming gurure.
1. this cycle of people wanting to listen about how to solve their problems (rather than solve the problem). and people wanting to give adivce – is why the problems in the world are not changing – its an ineffective cycle of talk and advice – which is NOT the way the brain learns.

Content IDEA – give people horror stories of what kind of things their kids are doing when they are not watching – making the point of making inner changes in kids.
Content idea – your over focus on your child is suffocating for them. Get a life for yourself mommy and daddy.

Content topics
1. Fear is an unproductive way to motivate your child. Inducing fear to motivate is like using a nuclear bomb. It can achieve the objective but a lot more can get damaged also. Aim for targetted motivation.
2. Difference in the approach to parenting
3. If your child has done something wrong – dont scold them if that’s your approach, but also dont leave the issue unaddressed. Talk, listen and come to non-judgemental solution.
4. There is no fixed formula of parenting and it requires parents to think about each solution as to how to deal.
5. “I have no expectations from the child” – this is incorrect approach – you need to have expectations but you need to have belief also. When you are saying great things on the outside about your child but inside you have doubts – that is when your expectation becomes hollow. Give example of Roll Numbers mixed as IQ scores and the resulting change.
6. Why kids like the things they like – because they have autonomy in it. Autonomy is a basic human need.
7. If your child calls out on people who behave badly then this is a good thing. They just need to learn to communicate properly. We do not want our children to be fearful social conformers ( look where this social fear has gotten some other people) – we want them to channelise their emotions and use appropriate communication – but NEVER tolerate intolerable behaviour.
8. How to protect your child from inappropriate influences
Content – IIT who became a criminal – Just education wont make you successful, values will – this guy could have avoided this fate by learning to regulate his emotions – https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/lovelorn-iitian-quits-dubai-job-takes-to-crime-to-please-gf/articleshow/99623313.cms
Copy Angle – your child is struggling with studies, you keep doing the same things ( tuitions, anger, control) and not work on the root of the problem – their focus, etc – they will miss out on opportunities in life. Then when they grow up and find out that you COULD have helped them but did not – what will be your excuse ? That you had to buy the latest phone ? That you had to spend on a vacation? The time to help them in their career is NOW – not later. That the company was too new and you did not trust their testimonials – that you were too afraid to try ? That you had been cheated before so you did not risk just a little bit of money ? That you did not do your research and find out more about the company? Or that you were too busy watching TV or checking social media ? I am sorry if this is offending but we are talking about the rest of their life – what excuse could you possibly come up with? Your relatives are hoping that your child will continue to do poorly (and they will gossip about it) – your colleagues want to give you advice (without you asking) because it makes them feel important.
Content idea – “Not good at studies” is a myth – what this means is that they are not good at discipline, can not focus on studies, does not understand a particular subject – all these are changeable.
Content – it is taken a matter of pride by some parents to instil fear in their child to make them behave. But fear, real fear, is never a solution. Try to work or think in a situation when you are really afraid – yes, your child might be really afraid of you and so their fear might make them make a show of them studying – but unless this comes as a desire from within, fear wont be helping your child in any way. In fact, it may alienate them further from you, so they are waiting to become old enough so they can become independent.
Content – who should set this year’s target – you or your child? – your child – because a smaller victory is more important now than a grand victory in some undefined future time. Once they win, they would want to get better.

Content – Common complaint from kids – taunts, comparisons,
Content – Saurav Ganguly used to bite his nails and perhaps his mother still pesters him about it. Criticism is easy for parents – but as far as Saurav is concerned, no one can doubt his hard work , success and he is a toop start – meaning – dont nitpick your child – find what tofocus on and let the rest slide.
content – is your over-focus on studies making your child resistant ? – even when you are spending time, you have studies going on at the back of your mind – even your child knows that this goody goody is just a facade and what you really want is not time and love with the child but studies – so this just becomes a manipulation.
Content – teachers favour “pet students” or “bright students” – we do not resist this because it is also going to be a problem in every phase of life – we teach them to be (1) diplomatic (2) conduct themselves appropriately with others (3) be more street smart.

People often ask us “How can you make my child disciplined in a week when I have not been able to do it for many months ( or in some cases, even years).
They ask the same question when we tell them about developing focus, interest in studies or being respectful towards parents.
And before you know the secret how Chitt Yog can do what years of talking, advising or even punishment can not do, let us look at one of the most common errors that some people make.
And that error is that if a method they adopt does not give satisfactory results, they try to do more of it.
- When punishment does not work, they try to punish more.
- If meeting unreasonable demands of the child does not work, they try to fulfill more of it.
- When their child can not learn in school ( when other children can), they try to put the child in tuition.
I will call this error as “Trying more of the same” .
Some adults make this mistake in other areas too
- When they feel unsatisfied with the money they make ( they try to make even more) – rather than looking for the true source of their dissatisfaction.
- When we are nagging our spouses when they dont do ( or do) something we dont like, we nag even more when trying to correct them.
- When they can not finish tasks on their list, they try to work even faster or for longer hours ( and still find themselves falling behind) – rather than focussing on priorities.
To correct the error of trying harder, one has to try better. For example, when you are trying to push a big rock with your hands and are unable to do it, the solution is not in trying harder, but to find a lever or a machine to do it for you.
In the same way, when it comes to transforming your child’s discipline, behaviour, social skills or anything else, just trying more of the same is unlikely to work.
So what do you need to do?
You need to try a different approach. Perhaps even an opposite one. Some quick examples, – if very busy, try to see which tasks or responsibilities can you reduce. When trying to make your spouse do things by nagging, try a loving or more understanding approach.
When it comes to kids – if tuitions, strictness, motivation has not worked, try Chitt Yoga.
So how does Chitt Yoga work to cause the miracle of transforming your child in a week, when you can not do it in years ?
It’s by relaxing the mind.
Just as someone will hear you better if they are relaxed, rather than agitated, the mind will absorb advice and instructions better when they are in a totally relaxed state.
Similarly by letting the child relax all their worries, fears, disappointments, or any other thoughts that are constantly going in their minds, Chiit Yoga can make rapid transformation happen in kids, which have eluded parents for months or years.
So what all can one hope to transform in their child using Chitt Yoga?
The short answer is: Everything ! Whether it is everyday irritants like laziness, unwillingness to cooperate with parents to more serious things like a lack of self worth and fears.
To learn more about what is the source of transforming knowledge, read my article on 3 kinds of knowledge for humans.
But to know how our program based on Chitt Yoga can help your child develop supreme academic and other abilities, book a call with us to develop a customised transformation plan for your child.

Teen not following your advice – Here is why
1. Why is it that we know so many things but fail to implement them?
2. Why is it that there is an abundance of knowledge, advice , coaching etc but people still struggle with all sorts of issues such as anger, insecurities, obesity amongst others.
3. This is because of how the human mind learns.
4. What some people do not know is that there are two kinds of learning that a child needs to have – factual learning and behavioural learning.
5. Factual learning is what we use to understand concepts and remember facts. this is the format of all formal education.
  1. Factual learning is stored in the memory centres of the brain and much of it can be recalled when we want. ( Have you ever noticed how some people are always ready to give advice, but do not implement it in their own lives?).
6. Then there is behavioural learning. This comprises of what we feel, how we think, our attitude, our actions and reactions.
  1. Behavioural learning comes from the emotional centres of the brain, situated in the limbic system. These are distinct from the memory centres.
  2. This is why whenever you give advice to your kids or share posts or articles with them, it gets stored in their memory and does not go into behaviour.
7. This is why whenever you want to change how someone acts, feels, and reacts, you need to give them behavioural training because advice, punishment, sharing articles or all other sorts of traditional methods either do not work or stop working after a short while.
8. In our “Study success program” we bring about rapid behavioural change in teens using Chitt Yog to help them become more responsible, focused and respectful towards studies and other people. Check out some of our trainees and their parents say.

Path of least resistance.
Army kind of discipline is good for physical actions – not for learning.
New training – how to manage raising teenagers.
First step to resolving your child’s study problems – treat them and yourself with some empathy and understanding.
Yes there are more facilities for children these days – but so is the pressure – some is real ( competition levels have increased) and some are imagined (I must read and reply to every post that someone shares with me). This means that kids need more empathy, less gadgets and distractions.
Parents. Stop blaming yourself for your child’s difficulties.
Parents – when you can become better listeners, you will be able to help your child more – but good listening is no easy task – you have prejudices, biases and other factors blocking you.

Content : Learning from how Papa was unnecessarily causing distress for Khushi – because he wanted to “protect” her from having to do the work – behaviour of adults is impacting the kids – give them protection and ability to deal with any kind of behaviour.

Content – could you be an overfocussed parent? – as a result, you become impatient, you sacrifice personal time and career ( which you may later regret), it can suffocating for kids, it impedes their ability to learn from mistakes, it avoid

Content – Human mind is something that does not work better with too much pressure.

Content – motivation does not work – it needs to be instilled. External motivation is temporary.

Content – external sources and aid wont work without internal change.

Content TOpic – dont make your child try different things in hobby classes to discover their interests – because intersts change – give them the ability to first know about themselves so they can choose a general direction, give them the power to make choices on their own ( they are under a lot of pressure of your and society’s expectation and then give them the ability to persevere through difficult patches to win at their project.

Content point – I recognised that it was my unwillingness to memorise scripts and lack of teleprompter that was preventing me from recording videos. In the same way it is often small things that prevent us from moving forward – I need to think what is the small thing that is preventing me to move forward in each critical area.

Content – human brain is not designed for thinking long term success and so preaching about the future and career means nothing for kids ( just as adults do not exercise or save money).

Content – why studies are not enough – personality changes are required.

Content – When you invest in a class – take its maximum benefit by focussing on it.

Content – KRishang’s case. Mother humiliating the child.

CONTENT – parents try to do many things and so their child does not achieve anything – success requires focus and decluttering – if you are not sure what you want – focus and concentration training for parents will help.

Content topic – children learn not from whats parents say but how parents act on a day to day basis. This is called learning through osmosis.

Write content based on this: https://www.businesstoday.in/industry/banks/story/no-ones-ever-asked-me-about-my-degree-in-30-yrs-new-sbi-chief-cs-setty-says-academics-is-just-an-entry-pass-435257-2024-07-01

IMPORTANT CONTENT – Learning behaviour and learning facts works differently and that is why parents advice or motivation does not change anything. (I gathered this when my mom was trying to make Khushi change behaviour by using “samjhana” – this made me think that while factual learning can be done by reading, coaching and what not, behavioural learning needs to reach the behavioural mind – for which we use Chitta Yoga. What is behaviaor? ITs how we feel, act, react, thing and evaluate the world around us.

IMPORTANT CONTENT POINT ( From Sobana call on 17th December- her father Sai SUbramanian said it) – Fathers/Mothers (or Parents) think that they should be able to raise an exactly perfect child with their own efforts. For some reason they believe that while they need the help of doctors to heal their own bodies, something has made them an expert in making their child behave correctly, study well, and all the other problems that a teen faces. In short – if you are serious about your child’s studies or personality grooming, stop fooling yourself and get expert help.

Content topic – Isha Awasthi or Jasnam example – kids are not machines – they can get from one thing to another because you put them there but they wont be able to learn, process and assimilate. Everyone will sell you this class or that class and they are perhaps all good, but what you need to know is that there is only so much that a mind can process in a day. They need time for “doing nothing” and while they are in this state of “doing nothing” their brains are incredibly busy trying to sort out information that they have learnt, sorting, storing and discarding the unnecessary.

CONTENT TOPIC – A simple yet hard to realise fact. If your child is not doing self study, it could be due to lack of energy at the end of the day after a whole day or school, tuition and extra curriculars. Solution : Decide your focus and if it is academics then manage his/her energy levels.

Important CONTENT – the program works for those who are not simple consumerists ( like your wedding did not lead to marital bliss, it took work – same way, raising good kids take work and not just a swipe of a credit card) – it also does not work for “know it alls” – those people who feel that they should know everything or that they already know everything – such parents suffer and their kids suffer.

CONTENT IDEA – Some things are very easy but feel very hard. For example, saying sorry for a mistake you made will improve relationships, but can be the hardest thing in the world for some. In the same way, transforming study performance does not require extremely hard work, it requires building the right mind patterns and that can be done effortlessly.

Content – if your child’s school, tutor or classes are so bad – how are other students able to learn?

Content point – Learning is confused with memorising.

Content – every student of my class goes to tuitions – this peer pressure is making you lose money and time and opportunity – do you have the courage to be different?

CONTENT – giving mobile to child because of school notes and assignments ? Here is what to do.

CONTENT – FROM BAIBHAV BHUYAN CALL – IS SCREEN LEARNING BETTER OR IS READING FROM BOOKS IS BETTER.

Content – why your child may be thinking that studies / academics are pointless ( school drop out billionnaires).

CONTENT – why add classes/tuitions if the child does not practice.

Take this program seriously – it is perhaps the most important program your child will ever do – even IITs or Harvards will increase safety and money – this will increase money, safety AND quality of life. Content is that life skills and inner abilities are more important than degrees from the highest institutions in the world – in fact, you only gain entry there based on these inner qualities.

– Mind changes are nuanced things – they are not black and white – sometimes the kids are dealing with unknown issues like loneliness, poor self esteem etc – just as an angry wife may be angry because of fatigue, or husband not listening to them, or husband not taking a stand for the wife in front of in-laws – but we all come to a fast conclusion “This woman has anger issues” – the human mind is not that simple.

IMPORTANT CONTENT FOR KIDS – When people can not defeat inner enemies, they start taking pride in it ( to make themselves feel better).

Content : Child not studying, how is your marriage going ?
Change blindness.
Content – how an IPS officer told me his competitive drive and ability to learn quickly ( even goldsmith work) that made him a topper and helped him clear IPS exam in one go. (BL Soni conversation).
Content : trying to keep everyone happy ( like teachers by doing their assignments, even meaningless ones) – or trying to be involved in every activity will lead to sub par results.
Content – too many subjects in little time is no good. mind takes 15 minutes get fully absorbed. So less subjects but deeper study
Content – parents – perhaps you need to focus less on your child so that they and you can have some space – parents who have single child, worried about results or those who have given up their careers for their children may be overfocussed, getting easily frustrated and micromanage the kids. (Anita Matta and Shalini Malagi case).
Content – When kids talk back to you – could they be right at times ( Shalini Malagi child complaining that mother is controlling her all the time).
Stress between parents may lead to child feeling unsafe about future and so not able to study.
why I insist that both parents be aligned for this program. Naitik Pipada case.
Do you want an easy solution or a hard one?
the pride of a well behaved, well studying child – its less than cost of a decent mobile phone – what are you waiting for?
No one teaches, how to learn.
Dr. Amit Thakkar was a casual family and no wonder their child learns being casual from them. But I can train your child to be serious about your studies and you can be free to enjoy life .
Some parents say that I dont want marks, I just want my child to be happy. This is based on flawed assumption that top study performance and happiness are contrary to each other. How about the child be happy AND successful. The child does not want to score low marks, or not be praised. So aim higher for your child and give them the gift of success and happiness.
Show a picture of a tiger, a horse, a whale, a rabbit , an eagle in a classroom – each one of them is being taught in the same way – no wonder our courses and schools produce very few excellent students.
Will power is easier said than done – when even adults can not exert will power, why would kids be able to?
Parents only notice bad incidences.

Content – for parents who constantly remind and check – make video on child gardner syndrome

Content – Some kids distrust parents – they think if I study more – my parents will demand even more from me – get a commitment from parents to set down their conditions of satisfaction and stick with it.

Key Content – what’s the difference between two students studying in the same class

Content – my father used to call me whenever the house maid could not find a Jhaadu – an example of how we all need engagement and feel useful. In the same way, some mothers become overfocussed on their child when they are home makers or have given up their careers and personal life for the child. to mothers – are you overfocussed on your child?

Content – motivation does not work – it needs to be instilled. External motivation is temporary.

Content – external sources and aid wont work without internal change.

IMPORTANT CONTENT – on 24th dec 2022 I realised how much work was I able to do after “Home worker productivity” session – its incredible what our minds are capable of letting us do – only if we will put the right things into our minds.

CONTENT – what are you and your child putting in their mind ? Does your family culture encourage entry of entertainment and negative news more than other things that can be useful or inspiring?

Is home the first school and parents the first teachers.
Personality is not permanent.
Why counsellors fail – giving advice never works – see for yourself.
Dont fall for titles of people – titles mean that they have had a piece of paper from someone – whose methods may not work – if psychiatry and psychoanalysis would have worked as a solution, the world would already be sorted.
Come to us before you spend money on tuitions, counsellors, strictness, rewards – because none of these work.
Why samjhana does not work
Why we dont do coaching – because it does not work – this is not how the brain learns new behaviour.
Parents – so you want your child’s situation to change – but are you willing to change your own unproductive habits ?
There is no escaping – you will need to continue helping your child.
When kids studies hard, they become easily bored.
Why add students to tuitions or classes, when there is no practice ? It wont work because it becomes one more place for passively absorbing more content -without understanding it.
You know why Shweta went from 60% to 87% – because she and her parents followed our advice on what works and not mindlessly follow the crowd of what everyone else is doing.
Impatient parents – you are harming your child’s long term prospects ( but it is not your fault)

Content Topic – perpetually dissatisfied mothers or fathers can suffocate their kids – ashna malagi – shashank chandak and aadesh rai examples.

Content – you may have the best ideas but can you do it consistently? That’s why we run daily programs.

Content – the difference between hearing and listening – no hearing is because he/she is lost somewhere – not listening ( which is also another name for not following or not cooperating) is about lack of respect or gratitude.

Make evening ritual
Obidience or cooperation?
Do the most unpleasant first.
Content : Jasnam Monika Video for example of – Unrealistic parental expectations.
Content topic – why tutors may have a conflict of interest in proposing problems with your child (hint: it has something to do with increased income) and how to objectively see what is really going on.
Content – Nisha Shukla asked if it’s okay to discuss problems in front of kids – yes totally – in fact kids are more open flexible and less conscious of things that plague adults. Plus they already know what is not right with them. It’s parents who make kids into kids.
Content – 10 year old said that she prefer studying from Papa because he does not get angry – butpapa only teaches during weekends – Mummy gets blamed for being constantly at guard – Mummys – we salute you – Papa – let us tell the child that mummy does most of the work – never wash yourdirty laundry in front of kids – they dont know when you are being serious and when are you being childish – Mummy’s tone downyour anger – you want the child to study AND love you -not one over the other.
I make content for both parents and kids. Parents are clueless despite being older and kids are smart and manipulative despite being younger. My interest is in what’s good for the family as a unit.
IMPORTANT – there are no average students – their exam performance is average – its a big difference.
A couple crying on the call – and the decides to not do the trial. Because they did not want to be disappointed. Every time you try something with your child and it fails then you dont only lose money, you also have lesser and lesser hope.
What’s common between Youtube Shorts, mobile addiction, suger intake, fast food, irritation and lazyness? Its basically a sign of and emotionally overwhelmed, dopamine insensitive brains. What this means in common language that its hard for the child to stay still and they will find most things boring.
A distraught mother once asked me – give me an account for all that I did for you over the last 20 years for my son – My answer – of course, if you gave birth to him then you need to take care of him – and even that is a choice – many people decide to abandon their child.
Why objectivity helped me tremendously to see all the human dynamics working in my own complicated family and work situation.
Make content to tell people the cost of not doing your program.
I havemet so many overbearing parents, who often complain that their child lacks confidence. Well. If you are going to provide solutions to every little problem. If you are going to step in and “take care” of things for the child, such that they never have a chance to learn from making mistakes , then of course, they fall short of you in ability and therefore they will lose confidence. The way to bring back their confidence is to step back a bit and let them explore their life. Otherwise, they will have the same confidence that a passenger of a plane has for flying the plane instead of the pilot – they have never done it and so they have zero confidence.
1. Just lecturing them about confidence is not going to help.
Nothing is really ever final in life. You got the job, now you must perform to stay or to progress. You got into a relationship, now you must do what is required to maintain it. Your child did not score well in the last exam, with right guidance and support they will start doing that. You got overweight due to some habits or circumstances, you can regain your health and fitness.
Content – why professional, well qualified parents can’t get their kids to behave well or study – because it’s not your domain.
CONTENT – Kids dont meditate because they dont want ( peace, detachment or other things) that adults want – or at least they dont hvae the patience that some( only a few) adults have. Meditation can be great – but its inaccessible to most kids because the shape of their mind.
from NILANJANA’s story – Kids skipping classes that you have bought.
Content based on how much Jyothi Rajesh delayed starting a trial for Uttam – what to write
1. Mother dont trust their kids and so kids never get to grow up and become responsible.
2. They have such fear of the outside world – due to bad experiences themselves – that they (unknowingly ) stifle a child’s growth. Too much protection is not good for your child – you want physical safety and still let them become uncofmrtable.
Why we focus on emotional well being. DONE
You go for cheap programs mostly because you dont know if they will work. If a program costs 10 times what you normally pay then its 100 times more effective – its basically the difference between somethinfg life changing and something utterly useless. Our programs are expensive but you need not woorry about whether they will work because we give you proof of its effectiveness using a trial.
Stardom is attracting kids – that’s nothing new – but they have greater distraction devices. Here is what to do.
Your child was good at studies and now not good – so what happened?
A belligerent dad – proud of his power tactics to make his study score 96% – but where will this lead? an estranged child, a successful child who moves away?
If you want security in old age – investing in your relationship is equally valuable as investing in their education.
Why character and inner abilities are more important than exam scores – because even if they clear the IIT , what will happen then – can they protect themselves from drug use? Will they live life with integrity? Will be able to settle down and have a strong family?
Parents who expect their children to perform as a Swiss army knife are successful at making them so – average at everything , excellent at nothing. Time to choose an alternative career will come later, right now you need them to study with focus, develop confidence in their abilities and then later choose careers.
Parents who put their kids in multiple activities – to find out their interests – find that the child may be excited for a while – but then loses interest – WHY ? Because interest in everything wanes – even the most gorgeous looking couples lose interest in their spouse – what you need is not momentary interest – what you need is resilience, focus and discipline. Find your focus and let your child shine in one activity.
beyond physical activity, and unless your child is a natural prodigy , do not put them in sports – if they have an interest and a zeal to play, and you are okay to let them do that, then be prepared that while they are following their passion ( which is totally find to do) they may not make the money in any sport except cricket, in India. If you are fine doing that, then no problem – but if you are expecting fame and riches, then know that this is not happening for anyone except a very small minority of people. This advice is not for parents of those exceptionally talented in some sport, but for those who are living in a fantasy world that their child will be a famous sportstar – Yes – Mary Kom, Sania Mirza and Virat Kohli made it – but also keep an eye on the lacs of those who did not make it – find your acceptable level of risk and then act.
Why designing your children is outside of your control.
Confidence or success – which comes first – start building confidence through small victories and positive reaffirmation.
Obedience or independence? – what should you want from your child ? – teacher like obedient students.
What’s the purpose of school ? – learn, pass exams, develop personality – Find out what’s the purpose of sending the child to the school and evaluate it against that?
When a teacher complaints about your child, this is the only thing that you should be looking at.
Can we be the last generation of parents who complains about spoilt children? – because every generation does that.
Memory is not the best use of brain – thinking is.
Why teachers play favourites.
dont trigger your child.
The importance of day dreaming – up to a point.
how to find the reality of how much your child is studying – time counting , scoring.
Whose advice are you following
1. newspapers are compelled to fill their pages – dont believe everything you read there.
For Atharva and all other kids – look at what is missing for them – such that their human needs will be fulfilled and they will become more attuned to doing the best they can. MEET YOUR HUMAN NEEDS.
Content entry – the people around you will actively or unintentionally keep you down ( like my father and family thinking me as their son and not founder of a start up). As a result, i needed to alter my listening by declaring the possibility that I am and not engage in the domestic petty matters that I used to allow myself to be involved in.
Navtej Raina and his father’s example – We often worry about kids resenting parents, but what about parents resisiting kids. When parents dont know the role, power and responsibility of parents, everyone loses – child and the parent.
How to handle when your child behaves poorly in front of others.
Kids are testing the limits of what’s acceptable – by acting poorly and seeing your reaction. To stop such behaviour – make the boundaries clear.
Content about sleep – https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/29/health/american-heart-association-heart-health-wellness/index.html
Content – any one who gives you career advice for your child without knowing them properly is giving you a cookie cutter solution .
Content – why to ignore internal assessment marks like obidience, timeliness etc.
CONTENT Getting Wi fi removed will not help your child de-addict – in fact no external control will have this effect.
Content- get rid of parental guilt by using your resources.
Content – for top results, you need sharpness AND volume – most kids have neither – they are unmotivated, undersconfident, indisciplined and being harassed by their own parents – no wonder they dont get the results. They have unexpressed emotions.
Content idea – overbearing, too strict or such suffocating parents will eventually lose out when the child is grown up and gone – the short term fix of making the child study and score top marks by pressure wont work when the child is away – plus the child will resent you – if you want their success AND a good relationship with them then make them change from the inside – your force will only go so far. Content – from second call with Agrim’s family – father is at home and unemployed, now he has made the child to be his sole project – as a result he has become overbearing -> this is suffocating the child and make him resist his father. Whose fault this is ? no one’s – this is why we make hidden factors visible to parents and families so they can get on the path of
Content – how do people decide what they want to fix on their own and what they will use professional help with -> parents think just because they ahave become parents that they are supposed to do and know each and everything about parenting. so they keep dong whatever they are doing – but when it comes to medical issues they dont expect themselves to be doctors and so they seek help immediately ( some people dont even do that). The point is that we all know how the process of becoming a parent came about – that is the natural thing -> but becoming a parent and successful parenting in the 21st century are two very different things.
Content done
1. Routines and Conditions of satisfaction.
CYF content
1. For all the ego and sense of superiority of humans there is very little we can actually do in comparison to nature – take a simple house fly for example, nature can make a housefly – but we can not – despite best of our abilities.
Mind changes are nuanced things – they are not black and white – sometimes the kids are dealing with unknown issues like loneliness, poor self esteem etc – just as an angry wife may be angry because of fatigue, or husband not listening to them, or husband not taking a stand for the wife in front of in-laws – but we all come to a fast conclusion “This woman has anger issues” – the human mind is not that simple.

These are in a random order.

Content- Father leaves at 9 and reaching home back at 9 PM – and then relies on his old opinion of the child – no matter what the child does, fixed opinions will make them ignore those good deeds.
CONTENT – Annit got angry that his parents did not listen to his request for re-evaluation of Bengali and science marks even though they knew that the child got lesser marks. This underlines the need to listen to the child – which parents sometimes ignore due to various reasons, causing resentment.
Single child will get spoilt – tell me why do you think so. Yes unconditional love is good, unconditional tolerance is not love, its laziness or selfishness.
What steps do they (parents) have to take to go from Island 1 to 2 (looking at the system as a whole).
1. Sleep + nutrition.
2. Routines and rituals.
3. Daily self-study.
4. Focussing during class as personal study time.
5. Social life and real refreshment ( sports, physical games) –
6. Emotional safety.
7. Learning how to learn and memorise.
8. Sleep
9. Time wasting versus real refreshment ( social life, sports, family time)
10. Mind training.
11. Calm parents. Parents educated about what to do about their child. Parents who can be friends with their child. Parents who are assertive+understanding+calm+educated+giving time.
12. Drawing most from school, tuition
13. routines.
Learning from Kino body – what kind of beliefs do the families / parents have that I can break and win
1. child’s personality and behaviour is fully changable.
2. its not genes or whatever the parents were like.
3. Its not the child’s or the parent’s fault.
4. Being a top student is very very simple ( not easy , but simple) – regular studies, asking questions, relaxation, sleep, an environement of high performance,
5. Tuitions are necessary when child does not ask questions, the classes are very crowded or the child is learning slowly. With confidence to ask questions, quick learning ability, self motivation the student’s need for tuitions is minimised and they can have more time.
6. Too much studies works against the learning style of the mind. What you need is alternating periods of study and rest and being top in studies is a marathon and not a sprint.
7. Expensive schools are unnecessary – hardly any topper came from expensive schools. They are mostly for vanity purpose of parents or others and not really for education.
8. Your child does not need extra curricular – do you want him/her to be a jack of all and master of none? Well rounded personality does not mean that you are a sportsperson, musician, scientist, debater – all in one – tell me one person in the world who is famous for more than one thing.
9. Studies are boring, teachers are harsh, there are more things wasting your child’s life ( mobile, news, other people) than promoting it.
10. Emotional nourishment is more important than physical nourishment – are you actually trained to be a parent for your child coz some parents are also children in bigger bodies. Do you
  1. treat all children equally?
  2. spend time with them?
  3. listen to and accept what they really want ( main ye sab tumhaare liye hi to kar raha hun – that’s a lie – you are doing this for yourself).
  4. keep your anger with your spouse from your child?
  5. acknowledge that while you may have regrets from the past, you did your best in the given circumstances and with the given resources. Do you then also allow your child to do his/her best by enabling them.
Common issues that I have found
1. Sleeping late
2. mobile overuse or social media overuse.
3. irritability, poor language and uncontrolled emotions.
4. lack of focus.
5. having no direction in life
6. no seriousness about studies.
7. unable to understand certain subjects.
8. forgetting what they have read.
Content – When Ashwat was unable to connect to the internet, his father thought ” he must be playing mischief” – such becomes a prejudice of parents.
Continuous sitting is a false criteria – kids need breaks to refresh
Kids are changing
Study shows relaxation is important for learning
1. A 1990s study that followed violin students at Berlin’s Universität der Künste found that those who structured their time, splitting it into practice and relaxation, were the best violinists.
2. So let’s take a leaf out of those students’ music books and reclaim our free time so that it is, in real life, free and relaxing.
Content – Parents expect a perfect child – like Shubh’s case
1. why I insist that both parents be aligned for this program. Naitik Pipada case.
2. Do you want an easy solution or a hard one?
3. the pride of a well behaved, well studying child – its less than cost of a decent mobile phone – what are you waiting for?
4. No one teaches, how to learn.
5. Dr. Amit Thakkar was a casual family and no wonder their child learns being casual from them. But I can train your child to be serious about your studies and you can be free to enjoy life .
6. Some parents say that I dont want marks, I just want my child to be happy. This is based on flawed assumption that top study performance and happiness are contrary to each other. How about the child be happy AND successful. The child does not want to score low marks, or not be praised. So aim higher for your child and give them the gift of success and happiness.
7. Show a picture of a tiger, a horse, a whale, a rabbit , an eagle in a classroom – each one of them is being taught in the same way – no wonder our courses and schools produce very few excellent students.
8. Will power is easier said than done – when even adults can not exert will power, why would kids be able to?
9. Parents only notice bad incidences.
Content – Hope is not a strategy – sending your kids away HOPING things will improve – letting your child remain undisciplined or unfocussed HOPING that he/she will be better when they grow up – These are all falsehoods that we (as parents) are telling ourselves.
1. CONTENT ( from Call with Shilpa ji – Mother of Ansh)
  1. Teachers are surprised when a child does not study – plus the teachers are helpless – this is because teachers can teach – but they can not change how the mind processes information.
  2. Being naughty is not bad and being obedient is not good – WHY? Because these are social criteria and not the criteria of success. What teachers make the mistake of is comparing socially appropriate behaviour with study abilities – we want our kids to be intelligent, question social rules because such kids can then go on to change the world.
    1. But what happens in reality is that teachers are looking for underconfident, “nice” kids because it makes THEM feel in control. So rather than becoming flexible and use the child’s natural ability to learn – they tend to think that the obidient child is worth paying attention to and the naughty ones have no hope- as a result naugthiness get equated with hopelessness to do well in life – and so the child also internalises these thoguhts of teachers and then parents. In reality, we are looking for inteligence and not obidience.
      1. Example of Japanese culture – very high in obidience and suicide. But no comparison to America – country with freedoms and the world’s greatest innovator.
  3. Time table making fails because it take inner abilities to follow the time table. Qualities like a sense of direction, discipline etc.
  4. When Parents act selfishly – confused or timid parents give up on trying to discipline their kids because it is easier to give up and let the kids find their own way – In fact this is selfish, kids ARE looking to be led by parents – they need the direction, even if they are showing signs of resistance ( they are LOOKING for direction and being told what to do). ( this came when Shilpa’ Ansh’s mother was told by his father to not try so much to keep Ansh on the right path).
From Gursewak’s example –
1. If you are working to build an empire or a nest’s egg for future generation, you also need to build the next generation who will take care of this inheritance. Only working on the palace and not training the next king will lead to ruin.
2. So you think you care for your child – but does that translate to actions that YOU take personally – or do you just spend money to buy services that are supposed to take care of his needs like tuitions, sports coaches, abacus classes, AAYAs or other things – most people spend time making money and try to buy their child’s rearing.
1. A child may be in a full family and yet may be alone – paint a picture of Gursewak’s family – mother busy in house chores, father is a businessman who wants to run a marathon, gradfather is reading newspaper all day and grandmother is busy praying – result? The child has no real friends in the family. Its like an orphanage run by parents and relatives. As a result the child has to find interest and friends by himself.
2. For parents – so you are working so hard to make a secure future for your kids? Is that really true? Or is it because you want to prove something to someone or to yourself and working too much or ignoring family using work as an excuse. Once you tell the truth, is when you can start to make a change. Your children need your time and no as much of your money as you may think. Stop putting your own ambitions onto your kids.
3. Quality time or quantity time? -Answer – no quality is possible without quantity. How to make quantity? what to do when you can not give quantity ( answer: tell them the reason and get back on track quickly).
4. Schools can be horrible places – difficult, full of bullies, thrashing from teachers, constant pressure – unable to understand – If I put you in a workplace like that, how motivated will you be? solution – understand that there is always a reason why your child does not want study or hates school – you will do it too ( perhaps already do by things like procrastinating, changing jobs, getting angry etc) – how is your child so different?
FRom Keshav’s example
1. 11 year old boy – 20 year old sister who has no interest in playing with him, paralysed grandfather, overworked mom, disinterested father who will take kids out to a 30 minute drive and icecream once on a sunday afternoon !!!! Is it any wonder that the child is mobile addicted.
Avisehk’s example : When you let the child do what he wants is it because that’s what you truly want or you are too soft or afraid to confront the child and prevent him/her from doing what is wrong for them. Avshek’s example of how his child is mobile addicted.
Hetal is annoyed with the child because the neighbors complain – this is invalid reason to dislike the child’s habits.
Content from Call with hetal
1. Kids so called bad behaviour is just the right behaviour that grown ups are too afraid to do. like talking straightforward.
2. Your kids can do just like you do ( like being diplomatic) or they can become your opposite, if they think your approach is not good for you ( like if they see you tolerating bad behviour silently.).
3. If other people complaint about your child’s behaviour then you need to assess if these others are prejudiced and need to find their own solution or not. All we are concerned with is if the child is indulged in behaviour that is harmful to the child – opinion of others does not matter at all.
IDEA – instead of repeating all the sessions all the time, just do a monthly check of behavioural issues like mobile overuse, emotional issues and see which ones are required for boosting. This way the child’s main boosters are focussed on studies.
Content – Parents dont want it, but kids pay for their behaviour and choices.
Routines and rituals. Why are both required.
Kids seek your attention and it leads to telltale behaviour like – irritating parents, not doing their own tasks, and so on.
If kids are irresponsible, build a team with them, treat them as a semi-adult and help them grow by guiding them about appropriate behaviour.
Kids know and observe a lot more than parents realise. The sooner you will speak to children as if they were your adult friends, the sooner you will get more responsible behaviour from them.
Kids are talking back is often a shock to parents – this is happening because slowly they are becoming their own person – parent is not the sole top person in their world – while they have other sources of information, parents still are the most important – and that puts pressure on parents to do more to behave as adults.
All or nothing thinking – parents come to me about making their child responsible and self reliant. But then they are expecting the child to become an adult with 100% maturity in 8 weeks. This is all or nothing thinking in action. In my program, your child will love to study, will sit down to do the required work with one reminder and learn much better – this should be enough satisfaction for the parent.
Content for Study program – Get a fixed study place, organise your bag and everything else, the night before.
You dont want the child to watch TV. Agreed. But what alternatives
Parents have been under strain with their child’s study habits for so long that they dont usually believe when their child has transformed.
Content idea – Parents are worried about their boys going after girls.
Content – from 15th Jan news of girl suicide in Kota – Forcing teens can have catastrophic consequences – plus forcing does not work – it make sthem harden up and make problems worse – parents done grow up or change in their views as much as kids do – this is why, if you could force your child to do something when she/he was under 12, you can not do that when they become teens.
BMI study content – causing mischief or other things that make you angry may be your child’s attempt to get your attention. Are you giving enough time to your kids?
From Anish’s sharing – getting control over one’s mind bring confidence and hope. turn our monkey mind as a source of frustration.
Ask topper kids as to what they want to do with their super powers.
1. “be disciplined” or “be focussed” or other such general things give no clear indication to your child as to what is it that you want – make it small, specific and observable.
2. Worry about wrong friends ? – here is the truth (1) you can never stop them from making friends. (2) later in life they will be outside your view ( but you will still worry about them because they are your children) (3) worry does not change anything – but giving them the right mind patterns is hugely beneficial because then they can take care of any situation – no matter if someone is asking them to do something illegal
3. Prepare your child to ignore social influences
4. Monitor all negative emotions – they are an obstable – the same goes for your parents.
5. You are not responsible for how your parents feel but what you can do is to not make it worse for them. No need for guilt or feeling burden of what someone else is feeling – their feelings is theirs and we can help them through reducing their worry about you. Parents need to monitor emotions
6. Child doing well ? Keep his mind in top shape – else he may become mediocre.
7. Why good studying children fail when they get into higher classes – bilogocial changes, social influence changing their world views, not listening to parents, being away from parents – give your child the inner mind strength to stay strong.
8. Restlessness may come from from anxiety and a noisy mind.
9. Core piece – two kind of thoughts – those we are aware of and those that we are not – hidden agendas, greed, need, expectations,
10. Overbearing parents – trying to get their child to do everything right may either produce very dependent children – or very rebellious ones – parents need to take a step back from trying to get everything right and let their child’s self awareness flourish – this may be hard for some parents in the beginning but letting your child find his/her own place and responsibility is key to them becoming truly responsible.
11. Child does not appear to be responsible – well ! do you even let them try ? Do you let them make mistakes and be messy for a while to see what it is like?
Content idea – How some parents may unknowingly end up making kids hate studies by putting too much pressure – getting too stressed themselve.
Content and product idea – Raaghav skipping class without telling -Develop integrity session – a promise is anything that you dont say no to.
Content ideas : One problem is that kids don’t confront what wrong things parents say or do ( Case: Jasnam). They learn to lower their self worth by accepting that this is not their time, when they grow up, they will do things their own way. They can also quietly rebel by teasing parents or not listening to them. Plus they are not not self aware and can not express their emotions.
Frustration leads to uncontrolled talk
low self confidence leads to screen addiction
Important realisation – people live poor lives because they dont know what a good life looks like – it is about living your values, taking care of things that are important to them ( after recognising those things) – as a result they waste their time,money and life on things that dont matter. This can be a book – The first step to the good life.
Pampering does not spoil kids – mindless pampering with different family members having different approaches does.
Hopeless parents resort to destiny –
Your child is good at something – but no matter what field they are in , they will need focus and concentration.
Regrets are the most common feeling for parents – do not let your child experience regret – they need your help in having a regret free life.
Content gathered from Aditya’s parents call.
1. Overfocussed mothers make their and their child’s life harder than it needs to be.
2. Information without context is useless. Watching informative videos and documentaries should be named as entertainment and not as education.
3. To improve self discipline- remove temptations.
4. Children need two parents and one set of parenting values – like Surbhi and Hemant.
5. Align the entire family for giving the child an environment for success. Casual family values may be the reason for child’s under performance – it can come from others who feel bad about their own low achievement life.
6. Busy mothers – spend non agenda time with your kids ( study is your agenda – or something else – spend non agenda time) – take them to work with you.
7. Individual play dates with each of your child – one parent at a time or both kids.
8. Advising requires the right image in the mind of the listener – your kids will listen more to teachers than to you – simply because in their mind, they are teachers – get your child’s teacher to communicate things to your child.
9. Attention is a basic human need – your child needs it too – else he/she will try to get it through mischief or some other naughty act.
10. To improve self discipline – remove temptations – remove youtube, swiggy or anything else that is making it easier for kids to stray.
11. Quantity or quality time – which one should you spend – BOTH – at separate times !
12. Do you know your emotions? Do you tell your child clearly when she/he is bothering you?
Child throwing a tantrum or teasing you ? – they are asking for attention.
FRom Divya Shrivastava call
1. Is Nobita being a lazy, loser having an effect on your child?
2. Why kids go from normal to gory violent videos.
3. Trusting kids to do things on their own is laziness on part of parents.
4. Why kids stop reading after they have access to mobiles.
5. Why screen addicted kids never seem to appreciate anything you do ( it has something to do with their reward circuitry).
6. Too much anger, motivation, love – too much of anything and soon they get desensitised.
7. Nature of parents and kids need not have any semblance.
From Tanika Call
1. One of the most expensive fallacies of people is that change of place will change how they feel, behave or act. The apply the same for their kids – different school, tutor, different city, sending them to boarding school and so on.
  1. You feel bad or good when working on the same day, same office and coming home to same home to same family – what’s the difference.
  2. You goon vacation, but you may feel the same during the vacation or be stressed about how much you have to handle when you come back. What’s the difference.
  3. Change of place is irrelevant – changing how you feel is the only thing that works.
2. Sending kids to boarding school – without them being fully mature or responsible- yes they can become more appreciative, responsible – but they could also become drug addicts, aloof and resentful. Do you really want to roll the dice on your child’s future before you are able to set them on the right path with the right mindset?
3. Raise your standards – Tanika was “satisfied” that out of 15 hours of screen time, her son was only doing 5 to 6 hours of gaming – this was a classic example of ” tolerating the intolerable ” – like the wife of an violent, abusive alcoholic who is often a victim of violence, is happy or relieved on the days when she is not subjected to pain.
  1. The truth is that anything worthwhile that we see around us, only came about when we raised our expectations – imagine if train or flight operators had no standards. Or mobile phone makers or car makers just made the poorest quality – we would not be enjoying things we enjoy.
  2. So the first thing to raise your child’s academic performance is to raise the standards of what you will accept and not accept. This is not enough, but this is the critical start – if you dont expect soemthing then how will you ever get to the level that you want to get to – start with expectations – and after that, let me help your child fill the gap between what you agree are expected standards and where they are right now.
from call with Manoj singh – west bengal
1. There are no dull, stupid, irresponsible kids – its just their behaviour – the dull , stupid irrespnosible may be acting completely differently in other circumstances – like they could be super excited for going to a family wedding, they may be super responsible when taking care of a younger sibling – its not the personality of the child – its how their mind sees the situation that decides how they act.
  1. So change your child’s mind’s response to situation and they will change.
2. Difference between learning and memorising – learning is when they understand a concept – they can visualise it and even teach other people on it ( which is a great way to learn) . Memorising is reproducing information in a manner it is meant to be reproduced. Unfortunatlely our testing system focuses on memorisation and reproducing information – which puts us in the same level of intelligence as a PC (which is so far a very dumb machine).
3. Chacha Chaudhary ka dimaag computer se bhi tej chalta hai – actually every humans mind works faster than a computer – a computer is a very dumb machine – if youdont put things into it, it wont know what to do. While every human’s mind works so much faster than a computer – but unfortunately, we use our minds for dumb things and that;s why we think computers are faster than us.
4. Understanding is often confused with regurgitation. – parents or teachers teach and ask immediately. The child stores information in short term memory -parent thinks my child learns well – and then the child forgets it in a couple of days . whatyou need is information to be sotroed in long term memory.
5. Shouting or any other way to get your child to study – loses effect – all external things lose their effect.
From Neha Chandra daughter Tavishi deciding to not do program after grandfather’s death
1. Sometimes, small irritations and setbacks make you give up a direction that you have chosen for yourself. This is understandable because in a moment of irritation, grief or some other impulse, you want to drop it all and just revel in that moment of wanting some peace or not having the need to make a decision. However, a course that you wanted to take but did not, a person who feel felt like a soulmate but momentarily disturb you, or a small setback in a plan that would transform your life – deserve more of your attention than that momentary Bank setback or irritation.
2. People mistakenly believe that too will power or some undefined concoction of their own, they will be able to solve their problems. But the truth is that if they were really able to solve their problems, they would have already done so. This is especially true for Mind related long-standing problems

PPT why tuitions waste time and hinder learning.
1. s
3. Why too many tuitions may hinder your child’s scores and learning.
4. Tuitions are a popular tool for supplementing a child’s learning.
5. However, before you go for blanket tuitions for all or most subjects, there are a few things to consider.
6. First, let us see common reasons why parents go this way.
7. But before that, let me make one thing clear.
8. What I am referring to is tuitions are meant for regular school exams and boards. I do not include IIT JEE, NEET or other competitive exams because they may require additional coaching that is not covered in school curriculum.
9. So, with that out of the way, let us look at the matter of tuitions.
10. Of course, when solving a problem, one must first investigate what is the underlying cause.
11. Here are reasons some parents have to put their child to tuitions
  - Child does not study in class.
  - The school has bad teachers or overcrowded classes.
  - Child does not follow things taught in class.
  - Child is weak in some subjects.
  - Child does not self study and so tuitions are method for parents to get “at least some study done”.
12. Before we look at those, let us see if unnecessary tuitions are being used by the child then what are the problems that may arise.
  - Time spent in learning same things from two sources. ( Travelling time is extra).
  - No time to revise or practice learning due to dual assignments.
  - No time for relaxation, recreation and well being.
  - If key issue is with child’s motivation to learn, ability to focus or self discipline to practice – these remain as they are.
  - Then of course, there is also
    1. money spent by parents.
    2. raised expectations of parents of better scores ( without the core issue being solved).
13. So, let us now get back to those reasons for tuitions and start investigating. These are
  - Child does not study in class.
  - The school has bad teachers or overcrowded classes.
  - Child does not follow things taught in class.
  - Child is weak in some subjects.
  - Child does not self study and so tuitions are method for parents to get “at least some study done”.
14. Reason #1 – Child does not study in class.
  - Underlying causes
    1. lack of interest in learning
    2. naughtiness and lack of maturity.
    3. inability to focus.
  - Solution – Get them to complete their mind trainng.
    1. Why ? – Because these same issues will continue no matter what tuition you put them to.
15. Reason #2 – The school has bad teachers or overcrowded classes.
  - Before we get to underlying causes, let us first ask – Are there any students in the school that score above 90% or 95% ? Do they also go to tuitions?
    1. Perhaps they are, or may be they are not. Its worth finding out before you spend thousands of rupees and countless hours of your child into tuitions.
    2. Chances are that there are students who learn and score well despite tuitions.
    3. This means that there is less of an issue with the school and more the need to help your child using mind training.
  - But let us say that the school IS bad and the teachers don’t care, here are some much better solutions
    1. Let us give your child the confidence to ask questions in class.
    2. Speak to teachers and get extra attention from them on your child – again it saves enormous amount of time and money for everyone.
  - And finally, if none of these work, then perhaps you can consider the following options
    1. Change the school – if that’s possible.
    2. SEnd your child to tuitions in key subjects and make them skip school to do more revision and practice at home. Maintain the minimum required attendance at school so there are no problems in that area.
16. Reason #3 – The school is decent and teachers are dedicated but the child does not follow things taught in class.
  - Underlying cause
    1. lack of concentration or getting easily distracted.
    2. Child finds it difficult to follow a certain subject.
  - Solution
    1. Mind training for improving focus, concentration and learning.
    2. Daily revision and practice with more weightage to subjects that are hardest for them.
    3. Once applied this needs to be verified with tests.
    4. No need for tuitions.
17. Reason #4 – Child does not self study and so tuitions are method for parents to get “at least some study done”.
  - Solution
    1. Mind training for discipline, motivation and self esteem.
    2. Daily revision and practice, verified and reported by parents.
    3. Regular tests to verify.
  - Why this solution
    1. If a child is not studying at home and parents are using tuitions as a method to force study then child will neither learn in tuitions nor practice what they have learnt. Its a loss of time and money, plus the child does not get to take responsibility for their academic performance.
18. So here were the reasons and solutions, now here are some additional tips if you must take tuitions.
  - Avoid blanket tuitions – often its a few topics and concepts that are hard. Get online or offline teachers specifically for those topics. You can also use services such as doubtnut.com/
  - Testing tells you the truth no matter what the child, tutors or teachers tell you.
    1. Tutors may inflate test scores to show they are teaching well. Teachers may be biased towards or against your child. The best is to get your child to do independent tests.
  - Learning requires relaxation. Continuous running around from one school to class to another tuition, with no time for relaxation, reduces the brain’s ability to learn. If you don’t believe us because everyone is doing it, then try to follow a child’s hectic schedule yourself for a week. You will realise that if an adult can not do it, then how will a child do it. Prioritise and focus is your key to success. And of course, get them to do their mind training regularly.
19. I hope this was useful – send in your comments and questions and I will answer them for you.

Why kids don’t study
Mostly kids want to study but are not able to – hence they avoid it.
Boredom
Avoiding difficult things – adults do this also – avoiding paperwork, or difficult conversations etc.
Painful memory – yelling teacher, making a mistake and someone laughing.
Anger towards parents – hidden anger for not spending enough time, being too focussed on their own agenda (studies).
Confusion – kids are unable to relate regular studies to their own goals in life and therefore unable to put it in action.
Where does motivation come from?
It’s a feeling of wanting to do something.
Its underlying emotion is a sense of priority – if we can make something a priority, motivation is automatic.
The other source of motivation is success – if we can succeed at something then we feel like doing it. This is why taking small ( even micro) steps towards our goals in a consistent manner is the part of building motivation for that in no time
But teachers are ill equipped to do this and parents are too busy to do this on their own.
Overfocussed parents make it harder for child to study
Good study needs physical and emotional space
Parents who are too focussed on academics can make some mistakes
All the talk at home is of studies and nothing else.
One parent can over worry about the child’s study – creating stress for the child.

iii. If a parent gives up career for child, parent will resent it and child will be guilty – this may not always work.

Solution – caring is good, and caring with space for child to self assess and grow is much, much better.
Common Myth #1 – General knowledge is of no use in life ( except for polite conversations)
Reading newspaper, watching youtube videos or nature documentaries are to be done for fun and not for growing your life.
It’s a very common phenomenon and an excuse for some to waste time.
GK is not asked in exams.
Everyone has GK available on Google. Whatever is available to everyone is of no value.
GK will become useful when you appear for exams like civil services – if and when your child decides to do that, then they can study all the GK in a concise format – watching politicians talk on TV news or reading of neiborhood robberies will not feature in even those exams.
Tomorrow’s world will be of specialisation – and specialisation requires focus. A jack of all trades struggles in his life.
Kid making excuses to watch “educational” videos ? – you can confidently stop them because education without a valid reason for that education is useless. Watching 2 hours crime documentary is good entertainment, but will not help them move further in life.
Want to improve self discipline of your child ? Remove temptations
They watch too much TV – restrict it
Too much mobile – remove it.
Too much fast food – delete Swiggy and Zomato from your phone.
Self discilpline is easier when its harder to find temptations.
Child throwing a tantrum ? Here is what to do
On one side – empathise with them – they are in actual emotional pain during the tantrum – don’t make them into a villain – they really are in emotional distress
On the other side – Stand Firm – A “NO” is a “NO” – as parents its your right and duty to be firm in your decisions for their betterment.
Also – as adults you have more responsibilities and therefore more rights. You can tell them that and (responsibly) engage in pleasures yourself – your child’s time will also come – when they are an adult.
What to do when both parents have different approach and views about raising the child and studies.

NEVER contradict your spouse in front of your child. This is important for their image and self respect ( and also your relationship).

iii. Your child will try to play you against your spouse – stand firm and don’t get manipulated.
