Interactive counselling session at Kara
Are you the cause of your child’s woes? Do you have the time to listen to his cry?  Are You the CAUSE of it?
Dr Ali Khwaja of the Banjara Academy, teams up with Kara – an extended Preschool and Daycare Centre - for an interactive counselling session on October 26, 2007.

As providers and caretakers, adults tend to view the world of children as happy and carefree. After all, kids don’t have jobs or bills to pay, so what could they possibly worry about?  Plenty!

Even young children have worries and feel pressurised. Stress is a function of the demands placed on us and our ability (or sometimes perceived ability) to meet them.

Venue: Kara KiNDERgarten, 374, 12th Cross, 5th Main, HIG Dollars Colony, RMV II Stage, Bangalore 560 094
Time:  5.00 – 7.00 pm
