I am Kamakshi Gupte, a writer, dreamer, teacher, mother, wife and a Counselling Psychologist. I am also an NLP Therapist- Neuro Linguistic Programming (Richard Bandlers’certificate) and a Graphoanalyst.
What I love most is parenting, as this is one role where we err as humans and we need to learn, unlearn and re-learn new ways of being a cool parent.
It was an epic shift for me, as I quit a banking career and essayed the role of a parent. I admit, I have also attempted to cut my toddlers’ hair as going to the salon was a phobic feat. So as I changed from being a banker to a barber, I learnt that the challenge to be a good parent is endless. The joy too grows in multitude as we nurture our children.
I often wonder, if good parenting ever existed and I am not sure yet. Perhaps the only way to be a good parent is to be a ‘cool’ parent.
I present the thecoolparentingguide – a blog that expresses the various stages and situations a child and parent can possibly be in. A few tips learnt via therapies in counselling and also effective communication tips are included and hope you will find it useful.
So, cool parenting to you!!!
