2/ @docbhooshan -Flexibility in values is critical. Reality at different levels of human interaction is different e.g. family, school, nation. The ability to hold parallel & even conflicting views about rules of interaction at these levels is a sign of socio-emotional maturity

3/ @ramgvallath -The ability to handle failure, regulate emotions and express them appropriately and influence others' emotions are signs of emotional and social maturity- signs of these can be seen even in children and effective leaders in organizations have these qualities

4/ @docbhooshan If you can't label a specific shade of emotion, it is like you're frozen, unable to crawl out of the way of a speeding train. A rich emotional vocabulary is critical to coping with challenges... & stories are a powerful way to develop this in children

5/ @ramgvallath If respect can be inculcated in children, 75% of the job is done. Imparting respect involves modelling it in interactions, communicating all the time... having rich dinner table conversations as a regular practice...

6/ Check out the course 'Hardwiring Positivity' for 13-16 year olds by @ramgvallath starting Nov 28 and stay tuned to genwise.in for an announcement of the dates of the next parenting course from @docbhooshan
