Ludhiana The Government Home Science College plans to introduce a course on ‘effective parenting skills’ to counsel parents of children of all age groups and of those with special needs. The college happens to be the first in Chandigarh to come up with such a course, which is due to start within a week.

Principal of the college, Dr Rita G Singh, said: “Most parents feel they know how to raise their kids but things are very complex today. Joint families are breaking down and there is no buffer available for children as both the parents are working and the grandparents are not around. Counselling of parents becomes essential.”

It will also focus on how to build self esteem and confidence in children. Parents will be told about tools to assess behavioural problems and emotional quotient of their child and impact of TV, video games and computer on them.
