Seminar dwells on healthy parenting

Patiala: A thought-provoking and informative seminar was conducted on the DAV Public School premises to channelise the bond between teachers and students and maintain transparency between the school and parents. During this session, 75 parents of students from Classes VI to VIII were addressed by counsellor Akanksha Garg and coordinator Kirandeep Bawa. While emphasising on healthy parenting, Akanksha highlighted that a child’s aggressive behaviour should be dealt with care as parents play a pivotal role in overcoming fears and anxieties of the child. Bawa tried to solve obstacles faced by parents during their child’s academic journey. Principal Vivek Tiwari, while thanking parents for their efforts in making the seminar a great success, said such seminars were quite useful to strengthen the relationship between students and educators.
