          Change is constant. “Innovation and creativity” are the keys to survival today. The individual as well as the organization is galloping to keep up with the ever increasing pace. Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires change. Education is essential to adapt to the change. Education creates new wants and desires and ability to satisfy them. Once our children get in the habit of learning for themselves, nothing is going to narrow their minds. Our essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another.

How would you feel if some one doesn’t listens to you properly? If you have to repeatedly ask the same question from someone to whom you are talking because he is not paying attention to you?

Mr. Bhattacharya in discussion with parents

 An open seminar was on the same was conducted by Indus World School on 26^th of May 2012. The speaker for the seminar was Mr. Sujit Bhattacharya, CEO- Indus World Schools who is an IIT/IIM Alumnus himself. This was his first ever interaction session in Pune. The session commenced with the presentation of a case study which depicted how an adult would feel when someone listens to him with half attention, keeps questioning rather than acknowledging, and is sympathetic and not empathetic.

Closure with parents

Similarly, a child feels disturbed when he does not get an empathetic response from his parents. Such actions generate conflict in the child’s personality and create a sense of being “not ok” in the child’s mind. As parents we should be good listeners, empathize with them and try to find the solutions to their issues rather than being dismissive of them. Empathetic listing and actions create a sense of “being ok” in the child which helps the child grow up into a confident person. Mr.Bhattacharya spoke on different ways of empathetic listening and responding to children.

The session was followed by an interaction where the parents discussed various issues related to the children with examples, asked questions, and participated actively in the question and answer session.

What is not available is quality time for self study which is very essential for the student to hone himself for his entrance exam preparation. Looking at this scenario the only way out is that every school must be equipped with an integrated program. This will save a good number of hours of the student for his self studies and also help him pursue his favourite sports or other hobbies” said Shri R.
