World Mental Health Day
In the journey of parenting, we hold the brush to paint the canvas of our children's lives, and with the right strokes, we create masterpieces of compassion and resilience.’ On the occasion of World Mental Health Day, which falls on October 10, 2023, Kundan Vidya Mandir has embarked upon a noble endeavour by designating the period from October 3 to October 10 as Mental Health Week. In line with this commendable initiative, the Preparatory Section of KVM took proactive step to foster psychological well-being by orchestrating an enlightening and transformative workshop for parents 'Empowering Parents: Nurturing Mental Health and Compassion in Your Children,' on October 3, 2023. Ms. Aimy Choudhary, a counsellor at Suman Hospital, and Ms. Palak Soni, a seasoned child psychologist, shared their expertise. Understanding children's behaviour as a glimpse into their inner world and the "Body Budget" concept for balance were key takeaways. Participants learnt to validate all emotions, nurture non-judgmental communication, and guide their children toward positivity. Responsible digital presence and content control were also discussed. In the end, Ms. Nafees Bhambi, Preparatory Incharge extended deep gratitude to the dedicated parents who generously devoted their invaluable time to the transformative event. With the utmost sincerity, she offered heartfelt appreciation to the luminous guiding lights of the session, Ms. Aimy Choudhary and Ms. Palak Soni for imparting a profound redefinition of love and leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and souls of the parents.
