Interesting points
Why have you not been able to convince (motivate) your own spouse to do
Jagirti/ TTT or explore this concept?
I guess it is not about our spouses/ relatives and friends – its about
us the way we are conditioned.
We explored a new concept – we taught you through
TTT/Training - you went home and wanted your spouse to learn
that – for whom? For you. You may have your spouse in different ways
“you do not know
much, I will tell you how to manage or work with the kids, I have
learnt”. In the process are we making our spouse feel negative about
self?(you do not know, you are wrong, you do not know about the
concepts)
You learned it and liked it because you came to learn – remember your
spouse still does not see the need.
How about making your spouse the experience the empowerment instead of
correcting him or her. How about your spouse EXPERIENCING the empowerment
instead of your gyan or desire to improve in parenting.
Empowering does not means asking questions only – apply all other 10
session of Jagriti too :).
Empowerment
also means Me believing in you, your capability, knowing you through your
feelings, making you feel nice. If your spouse likes this approach, ask your spouse
to start looking at your child as empowered and have BELIEVE in the
child……………and the chain continues. This
will not bring your spouse immediately for parenting program (he/ she does not
need) but this may bring your spouse closer to the concept of empowerment and
hence may be able to apply in her/ life and then when you give “Jagriti for
Teenagers or Managers” he/ she will be interested – because he/she knows what
is the value of acknowledging feelings or accepting others.
What does all this means for us to bring more people at Jagriti/ Khoj/
Aarohi……………….?
We continue what we are doing – instead of giving gyan to parents we
make them experience various elements of empowerment through various
workshops…………………….leaving here for individual team to munch over.
