About this course
Introduction
Parenting in India is a journey deeply intertwined with cultural traditions, societal
expectations, and modern influences. While Western parenting emphasizes
autonomy and individuality, traditional Indian parenting prioritizes respect, discipline,
and family values. This unique mix often leaves parents conflicted—oscillating
between permissiveness and authoritarianism. Meta Counsel, with its deep
understanding of both Indian and Western perspectives, offers a seamless blend of
these worlds, helping parents craft an approach that fosters independence,
responsibility, and emotional resilience in their children.
The Rationale
In a globalized world, Indian parents are increasingly exposed to Western parenting
philosophies, which often contradict deeply ingrained traditional values. This creates
confusion, leading to extremes: overly permissive parenting that neglects boundaries
or rigid authoritarianism that stifles individuality.
Studies show that 60% of Indian parents struggle with maintaining discipline
without feeling overly controlling, and 70% feel conflicted about balancing respect
with independence. Children, in turn, develop behaviors ranging from entitlement to
rebellion.
