By SAARC Nations International Human Rights Association, Ministry of Youth Empowerment and Sports - Karnataka State, And National Service Scheme Cell Knowledge is power And knowledge allows caution without panic Caution keeps us safe. Panic can be extremely damaging. Thank you Harini Ramarathnam(@hariniramarathnam) for this opportunity  It was such an honor to be invited to present my work in "Educating Parents to Control Infections"
At the 2nd World Congress on Infectious Diseases and Antibiotics The COVID 19 pandemic has shown us how much we need to learn about infection and immunity in order to live healthy lives and to help our children live healthy lives. It is no longer OK to think - "When I am sick - I will think about illness" NO. By then it may be TOO LATE. Information about immunity and the immune system cannot remain confined to medical books and journals We must learn about immunity - and apply it to build our immune systems. I have been speaking about this for many years now. And I spoke about the 10 pronged approach to build immunity and improve health that I have been propagating through my website and social media channels. Yes. There are 10 things that we must do to change the way we live if we want to protect ourselves from infection. Nothing else can protect us.

Here is the video link: https://www.instagram.com/p/CF9kq74hgmP/  At an online consultation the other day a mom was almost in tears as she talked about her son and his selfish, self-centered behavior at home.
She said she was finding it difficult to live with him. She said he just didn’t seem to care about anyone except himself. And it was becoming impossible for her to tolerate him during the lockdown as she spent all 24 hours of the day with him. She is not the only one Many parents who are spending long hours with their children for the first time in our lives And they are not enjoying the experience too much What children have been taught to do in the outside world – they are now doing at home Competing……..giving less and grabbing more….thinking only about themselves….and so on And of course these are not qualities that make them easy to live with. What we need from them right now ….is empathy….unselfishness……cooperation……kindness Qualities that we thought were superfluous and useless. We need to begin teaching now. But it is not too late. Let’s begin.  My favorite people at the pujo are the Dhaakis
I am attracted to their simplicity and their positive energy throughout the 5 day festival. They have so little and they give so much. This year they will have even less. They will probably not even have food on their plates. I am sure all of us want to help them. On behalf of https://www.facebook.com/groups/1548109662026731/?ref=share I have been trying to reach them and connect with them so that we can find a way to contribute to them. Unfortunately I have not succeeded. Every time I have ended up with middle men.... And I don't want to stop at that bottle neck. If you are connected with a group of dhaakis.... Please connect me. We can ask them to perform for us on our platform via a video recorded on their mobile phones. And then show our happiness via our generous donations. That will give them A livelihood Dignity And faith in their creativity. Please connect me if you can.  A Dad calls me.... He talks with great pain about how he has missed out on his son's toddler hood because of the demands of his job. A Mom relates the painful story of how she was torn between wanting to breastfeed her crying toddler all night .... And needing to sleep because she had to go to work the next day. The mom of a 5 year old calls me in tears. She is being blamed by the whole family for her toddlers anger issues. The father of a teenager tells me with a heavy heart how his son is addicted to devices and how he feels helpless in the face of that addiction. These are parents who are stressed and depressed And they are not alone. The parenting journey is challenging and when things go wrong it fills one with guilt and fear. Today is world mental health day. If you are struggling with parenting.... I appeal to you.... To reach out for help. It takes very little effort to turn your unhappy situation into a happy one. All you need to know is what to do. Connect if you need help. A Dad calls me.... He talks with great pain about how he has missed out on his son's toddler hood because of the demands of his job.

The workshop was called "A Strategic Approach to Online Learning" And the students participated enthusiastically and asked lots of questions. I have always loved the Trio World Academy for their approach to learning. They realize that challenges will crop up through the learning journey. They are constantly vigilant and detect challenges as soon as they crop up. And they take action to overcome these challenges instantly I was delighted when the school reached out to me to help the children formulate a strategy for learning online. Yes. A strategy is essential. Because online learning is NOT difficult. It is just DIFFERENT. And it requires a different learning strategy from the one that students have been using all these years because the challenges are different. Putting in hard work without having a strategy in place can only lead to massive disappointments because of inevitable failure. It was a pleasure to able to build this strategy yesterday with the students using hard core neuro science as the basis for decision making. |
