The struggle — in their own words
"Veer would explode over nothing. Dropped a pencil — explosion. Wrong colour plate — explosion. I was walking on eggshells in my own home. His teacher called twice a week. I dreaded every school morning."
Before
- Daily explosive tantrums — multiple per day
- School calling about aggression with peers
- Walking on eggshells at home constantly
- Parents disagreeing on how to respond
- Mother dreading every school morning
After
- Tantrums reduced by 70% in 3 months
- School teacher: 'Veer is a different child'
- Home atmosphere calm and predictable
- Both parents aligned on approach
- Mother no longer dreading school runs
🔑
The turning point
Sunanda stopped trying to prevent tantrums and started understanding what triggered them. When she changed her response — not Veer — the tantrums lost their power within weeks.
Veer's teacher stopped me at pick-up last month. She said, 'I don't know what you've done at home, but Veer is a different child.' I nearly cried in the school gate.

The struggle — in their own words
"For two years I avoided PTMs because I knew what was coming — complaints, comparisons, suggestions to see a counselor. I'd send my husband. I couldn't face it. Rohan knew I was avoiding it and it hurt him."
Before
- 2 years of avoiding Parent-Teacher Meetings
- Teachers consistently raising complaints
- Child aware of parent avoiding school
- Rohan's confidence tied to mother's avoidance
- No improvement despite counselor suggestions
After
- Varsha attended PTM with confidence
- Teachers shared positive feedback and accolades
- Rohan proud of his mother's presence
- School relationship completely transformed
- No external counselor needed
🔑
The turning point
Varsha stopped hiding and started engaging. When she showed up at school with a changed energy, Rohan's behaviour at school changed in parallel — children respond to what they feel at home.
I walked into that PTM expecting complaints. The teacher said, 'Rohan has been a pleasure this term.' I looked at my son. He was beaming. Two years it took. Worth every single day.

The struggle — in their own words
"My two children couldn't be in the same room. Every meal was a war. The younger one copied every bad habit of the older. I'd separate them, they'd fight again in 10 minutes. I was a referee, not a mother."
Before
- Daily physical and verbal fights between siblings
- Younger child copying older's negative behaviour
- Every family meal turned into a battle
- Mother acting as full-time referee
- Zero peaceful time as a family
After
- Siblings able to spend time together calmly
- Younger child no longer mirroring bad behaviour
- Family meals now genuinely enjoyable
- Mother present as a parent, not a referee
- Siblings voluntarily spending time together
🔑
The turning point
Sheela realised she had been managing the symptoms — the fights — rather than the cause. When she addressed the dynamic between herself and each child, the sibling relationship healed as a by-product.
They played together for an hour last Sunday. Just the two of them. No fighting. No me intervening. I stood outside the door and listened. I didn't want to disturb it.
