The school called again.
Hitting is usually a vocabulary
problem, not a character one.
“Ma’am ne bulaya hai.” Third time this term. He pushed someone. He grabbed something. He wouldn’t say sorry.
The walk back to the gate is the hardest part. You’re angry with him. You’re embarrassed in front of the teacher. And underneath both sits a quieter worry you don’t say out loud — that this is simply who he is.
It usually isn’t. Hitting shows up most often in children who feel something enormous and have no fast way to say it. The feeling arrives at full speed; the words are still loading. So the body speaks first.
Giving him the words is teachable. It takes practice, not punishment — and it’s one of the more straightforward things we work on with families.

MYTH: Sharp kids can never
have a learning difficulty.

He does mental maths faster than you do. He remembers every cricket score, every route to every
relative’s house, the name of every character in the show he watches. And he still can’t get through one
paragraph of his English reader without losing the line.
So when someone suggests an assessment, the room fills up fast. “Arre, itna tez bachcha hai, usko kya
problem hogi?”
Learning differences like dyslexia have nothing to do with how bright a child is. Bright children are often the last to be picked up, precisely because they’re clever enough to work around it. It only shows when the reading load gets heavier, usually around Class 3 or 4.
FACT: Being sharp and finding reading hard are not a contradiction. They’re a very common pairing — and a very workable one, once you know that’s what you’re looking at.

Not every protector wears a cape. Some just step in front of you when a stranger stares a little too long, or tell a classmate, "don't laugh, that's not okay" — without even blinking.

If you're raising a child with additional needs, you've probably seen it happen — your other child quietly becoming the one who explains, defends, and doesn't let anyone make their sibling feel small. Not because they were told to. Because that's just what happens between siblings who look out for each other.

This Raksha Bandhan, we're celebrating that kind of protection — the kind that shows up in playgrounds, birthday parties, and school hallways, long before anyone ties a thread.

The second visit is often harder than the first.
That isn’t a bad sign.
The first time, it’s all new and he goes in without much thought. The second time, he knows where he’s going — and at the door he plants his feet and says he doesn’t want to.
This is the point where a lot of families quietly stop coming. It feels like proof that it isn’t working.
It usually means the opposite. He’s worked out that this room asks something of him, and a child only resists what he has understood. Nobody drags him in, nobody bribes him. He’s allowed to stand at the door and watch until the room stops being a question mark.
If your child cried at the door last week, you haven’t made a mistake. Come back next week anyway.

Hindi with dadi. English at playschool. Marathi with the didi who looks after him in the afternoons.
Then someone says it at a family function — “confuse ho gaya hai bechara, isliye nahi bol raha.” And you start wondering whether you should drop a language.
You don’t need to. Children who grow up with several languages reach their speech milestones on roughly the same timeline as everyone else. The trick is that you have to count words across all of them together, not one at a time — “paani” and “water” are one word he knows, in two places.
If the total still feels short for his age, that’s worth a proper look. But the languages at your dinner table were never the reason.

The door stays shut a little longer. Answers get shorter. You find yourself reading her mood from the
sound of her footsteps.
Some of this is simply fourteen. Pulling away is part of how teenagers build a self, and it isn’t a verdict on your parenting or your closeness.

But some teenagers go quiet because they’re carrying something they can’t work out how to hand over— to you, or to anyone. The difference between the two is hard to read from the outside, and almost impossible to read when you’re the parent standing in the doorway.

The “A” in CAMHANS is for adolescents. Sometimes the most useful thing is a room where she can say it to someone who isn’t you — and that’s not a failure of your relationship. It’s a relief valve for it.

If bedtime at your home involves one more story, one more sip of water and one last hug before the lights finally go off, you are not alone.

For many children, bedtime is when the day's emotions finally catch up with them. Staying awake isn't always about avoiding sleep. Sometimes it's about wanting a little more connection before the day ends.

A calm, predictable bedtime routine and a little patience often go much further than another round of negotiation.

Tomorrow night, the script may sound exactly the same, and that's okay.

Some days, five minutes is all you've got. That's okay, and it's also enough.

Getting down on the floor, at your child's eye level, without a phone or a task in hand, tells them something words can't: you have my full attention, right now.

No teaching. No correcting. Just being there while they build, sort, imagine or play.

The moments children remember most are often the ordinary ones. Five quiet minutes of feeling seen can mean more than a perfectly planned activity.

Try it today.

For some children, traditional approaches aren't enough.

When therapy is engaging, personalised, and guided by the right professionals, children often become more willing to participate, explore, and learn.

Because the goal isn't just better sessions—it's better everyday outcomes.

Before a plan reaches you, it's already been through this room.

Every case pulls in exactly the experts it needs — a child psychiatrist for the medical picture, a psychologist or therapist for behaviour and emotion, a physiotherapist for movement, a speech therapist for communication, an occupational therapist for everyday skills. Not everyone every time. Just whoever your child's case actually calls for.
