YFLO Kolkata, under the leadership of Chairperson Ms. Ankita Chitlangia, hosted a thought-provoking Conscious Parenting Workshop featuring Ms. Ishinna Sadana, parenting expert and trainer. This Conscious Parenting brought together members for a heart-centered dialogue on one of today’s most important subjects—raising children with awareness, connection, and emotional intelligence.
The objective of the workshop was to demystify modern parenting challenges and help parents understand what truly lies beneath tantrums, sibling fights, screen-time struggles, and the everyday chaos of growing children.
By focusing on the ‘WHY?’ behind a child’s behaviour, parents were encouraged to shift from reactive patterns to mindful, intentional responses. Ishinna Sadana, with her trademark warmth and clarity, guided the audience through key developmental stages and helped them understand how much of parenting lies in connection rather than correction.
She highlighted the importance of building trust early on, setting healthy boundaries with love, and staying calm during emotional storms—especially in the toddler years. Her insights helped parents reflect deeply on their own habits, particularly around saying no out of routine rather than intention.
Key Takeaways
- A reminder that conscious parenting is less about perfection and more about presence.
- When parents enjoy the journey of raising their children with patience and empathy, children naturally flourish—emotionally, socially, and developmentally.
Impact
Around 73 participants attended this session on parenting. The impact of the session was felt strongly as attendees walked away with practical tools to cultivate calmer homes, stronger bonds, and more confident, emotionally secure children.
Ishinna’s discussion around screen-time balance, bullying in the age of social media, and the right age for digital exposure resonated deeply, addressing concerns highly relevant in today’s fast-paced world.
