Mrs. Mukta emphasized that, to manage and regulate our emotions and our life-style, it is essential to have some space for oneself. She recommended the Grounding Technique to help focus on positive thoughts. Mrs. Rani highlighted the elements for healthy growth – the importance of creating an environment where everyone feels secure to express themselves, to make mistakes, and to build mutual trust.

Miss Pooja drew attention to problems caused by excessive use of mobile phones. We often see, among students, cases of bullying and peer pressure, low self-esteem, and even suicidal tendencies, caused by overuse of mobile phones and lack of human communication. She recommended that teachers and parents must spend time with the students, talk to them and make them feel that they are understood.

The workshop participants were very enthusiastic and responded actively. For Sr. Olive, the workshop provided valuable insights to deal with bulling and mobile phone usage. She felt that it would help in making decisions, promoting healthy habits and creating a safe environment for the children. Sr. Lourdu was extremely happy as the inputs helped deal with daily issues: to identify the problems, express and cope with them. The teachers face challenges and need to be kind to themselves – they need self-care and self-love. Each one’s journey is unique. It is important to acknowledge and celebrate when one wins, and not to worry when one has not succeeded; mistakes help us to grow through new experiences.
