What is common between parenting and rocket science?

Hi,
Remember the 3 little pigs story where the wolf huffs & puffs and blows away the house every time. Imagine him being stuck with the huff & puff strategy for the 3rd house as well.
How often have we been in a situation where we react to a problem in the same way over and over again and expect different results. Be it going mad stuck in traffic or getting your child to do his homework or arguing with your maid.
Do we ever stop and ask ourselves whether we can do something about this. To be unstuck from this state.
TTT is a program where we challenge some of our assumptions about children, about others, about ourselves actually. Some have pushed themselves to do exactly this.
Srimoyee Bali a mother of a 5 year old is one such. She says she faced the “usual parenting issues with my daughter, like fussy eating habits, doesn't want to go to school, how to deal with tantrums, disciplining and so on”
But she decided to take initiative. She did TTT.
Slightly different story with Nirmala Balasubramanyam. She was in a finance role in the corporate world. But her passion was to work with children. Somewhere she had this nagging feeling to follow her passion. And as Aamir Khan in 3 Idiots puts it “ishq hai jaanwaro se aur shaadi kar raha hai machino se”!
But she decided to take initiative. She did TTT. So inspired was she with this that she created a small bouquet for the world to share her journey so far.
What happens during & after the program? Well, as Srimoyee said “What TTT did for me was mind blowing! It changed me as a person. It changed my outlook, my thinking. It changed me as a mother. I was more at peace and happy and in turn people around me were at peace and happy :)”
As Amit from Mumbai who did this course 8 years back puts it “Today, 13th April, TTT program has ended - I am a new father...I am a new person. It has been a creative and thoughtful process”
And its not just about your relationship with children. It is much much much more than that. As Srimoyee puts it “More than learning about children, it was more of learning about myself and figure out what I am capable of. Lot of introspection and self realisation. And I have made some great friends during the sessions!”
Next TTT batch is starting on July 3rd. If you want to know about more such journeys click here. If you would like to register you can do it here or connect with Shilpi 9686191421.
