Synopsis
In this Parenting Series webinar, we will explore key aspects of The Positive Parenting Pentagon (PPP) – a framework architected by the Happiness Science and Well-Being Practitioner, Shaleen Porwal.
Beginning with an overview of the framework, we will unpack the first element, i.e., Emotions.
Emotions are complex, yet they are at the heart of how all humans learn, connect, and cope. This webinar offers a science-informed, practical guide to understanding emotions and building emotional regulation skills at home. We will learn what emotions are, how the mind processes everyday “energy and information,” and why emotional literacy and regulation matter for the happiness of every human.
Parents will leave with actionable strategies for creating secure attachment, building emotional vocabulary through open dialogue, and using daily lifestyle tools to support resilience and constructive decision-making habits.
