“Our 5-year-old Aadhira is full of opinions and loves to be heard whether at home or in school.

When once she got frustrated when things didn’t go her way, we gently helped her understand that every opinion matters, but not all can be accepted. When she wants something, we set a waiting period, appreciating her patience with stars and surprise rewards. Slowly, she's learning that patience isn’t about waiting quietly but trusting that the right time will come.” — Kavya Arun, IT Professional, Cap Gemini
