This is the first parenting book in India to introduce the C12 Framework—a 12-element values-based approach that encourages growth across emotional, spiritual, and practical dimensions—from Confidence to Compassion, from Creativity to Consciousness. It's a holistic guide designed for every kind of Indian parent, whether their children go to school, learn from home, or follow alternative paths.

"We wanted to write the book we wish we had when we became parents," says Kareena Pritwani, one of the co-authors.

The book also reclaims parenting as a shared, evolving journey—encouraging mothers, fathers, and caregivers to co-learn with their children rather than impose rigid ideals. With relatable stories, bite-sized wisdom, and practical steps, Parenting with a Smile is both a heartwarming read and a radical tool.
