  • Know your parenting styles

    Know your parenting styles
    Jun 22 2022
    In this episode, hosts Dr. Meghna and Devishobha throw light on the 4 major styles identified by psychologists and the major factors of your personality determining your parenting style. Why is this important? Because Parenting Styles can predict a large part of the parenting outcome. Simply put, parenting style is the style of communication, response and discipline parents use to raise their children. Devishobha and Meghna share the details of the 4 major parenting styles- Authoritarian, Authoritative, Permissive and Uninvolved. They go on to discuss the distinct characteristics of the parenting styles, what makes the best parenting styles, what influences parenting styles, what to do to adopt the best parenting style, and finally how to reconcile parenting styles with your partner.

  • Sleep Training Babies

    Sleep Training Babies
    Jun 15 2022
    It’s very easy to spot a new parent – the droopy exhausted eyes, the forced smile, the marginally low display of patience, and the auto-parent mode that is enabled at all hours of the day. As the parent and child battle this stretch, parents build on their ‘sleep debt’, which is very hard to pay back. If this debt persists over time, it can have serious ill effects on the parent’s health. Fortunately, parents’ sleep deprivation eases once their precious little one begins sleeping through the night (six to eight hours), starting at around three months of age. According to the Nemours Foundation, this starts at around three months of age for most babies.If your child is five months or older and you have not found respite from your sleep-deprived state, there is one woman here in India who can help you. She specializes in sleep training babies to snooze through the night. And no, it has nothing to do with the cry-it-out method! Meet Ajita Gopal Seethepalli – Child Sleep Consultant, a Child Eating Habits Consultant, and a Women’s Mental Health Coach. Just like any new mom, she entered a state of deep sleep deprivation with her firstborn, but unlike most parents, she refused to accept sleepless nights as a side effect of raising her kid. Over nine months that were filled with research and trial and error, she managed to successfully erase her dark circles and find a permanent solution to her son’s irregular sleeping habits. She formulated the Sleep Right Program, which she uses to guide parents into sleep training their children to achieve the bliss of a good night’s sleep. Listen to the episode where we discuss the deets of sleep training- what is it, and why is it a buzzword now? Ajitha also throws some light on the things that she wishes every parent knew about sleep, but sadly, many don’t and continue to be sleep-deprived.
