"Know Your Child’s Brain" – A Powerful Session with Smart Parenting Nepal

Smart Parenting Nepal recently hosted a highly impactful session titled “Know Your Child’s Brain,” facilitated by Priyanka Chaguthi, the founder and parenting consultant at Vygotsky Nepal.

The event drew in over 100 participants from across Nepal and beyond, including parents, educators, mental health professionals, and caregivers, creating a rich, diverse space for learning and connection.

In her session, Priyanka guided attendees through the foundational principles of child brain development, helping them understand how children's behaviors are shaped by the neurological and emotional changes happening in their brains. From the science of emotional regulation to the importance of attuned parenting, the talk offered a unique blend of neuroscience, psychology, and practical parenting strategies.

What made the session especially powerful was its interactive and reflective approach. Participants actively engaged through questions, personal reflections, and group discussions, transforming the session into a collaborative and emotionally resonant experience. Many shared how the talk helped them shift their perspective, from managing behaviors to truly understanding what drives them.

Key takeaways included:

• Understanding the developing brain and its impact on emotions and behavior

• Tools for regulating both parent and child emotions during difficult moments

• Brain-friendly communication strategies to build trust and connection

• The importance of co-regulation and safe relationships in childhood

Participants left feeling empowered, informed, and inspired, with many expressing how the session reshaped their parenting mindset and gave them tools they could implement immediately.

This collaboration between Smart Parenting Nepal and Vygotsky Nepal is a powerful reminder of the growing commitment to conscious, brain-based parenting in Nepal. Events like this continue to build a supportive, informed community for those raising and guiding the next generation.
