The book " Doosra Pehlu"( language -Hindi with a slight tinge of English) by the author Mrs Nirmala Rawat depicts the other side of parenting and schooling. The book is full of beautiful quotes, references ( of various authors), insights, analogies, instances which elaborate how judgments or labels may damage a child's cognitive domain. Disempowered grown-ups disempower children that further turns into complex behavioral patterns or we can say personality disorders(which are acquired and can be deleted). A child's very simple needs if remain unmet in the early stage, take various forms and re-create patterns that may be self-destructive ( in order to fulfill those unmet needs) !! The book is an outcome of the keen observation, experience, vision, and passion of the author. And it will definitely prove a big help in improving the parent-child equation where the child will be treated as an equal and not as subordinate. The core message of the book is that a child needs unconditional acceptance first and anything else second or third . The child must be seen and heard and protected at all cost. Acceptance and compassion to children will lead to a crime-free, addiction-free social scenario for sure!! So get ready for a joyous, emotional ride !!
