Inner child integration and Indian parenting – Media coverage Nagpur

This article talks about an event by the Prabha Khaitan Foundation featuring Riri G. Trivedi, who discussed how childhood adversity profoundly shapes adult mental health. She highlighted that childhood trauma is often unseen and therefore encouraged parents to be aware of how childhood trauma leaves a lasting imprint on the long-term mental health of the adult.  By becoming aware of this implication, the parents can incorporate prevention of childhood trauma into parenting practices.  Several newspaper articles featuring the talk are provided below.

Trivedi shared her own journey through postpartum depression, which led to personal and spiritual growth as well as emphasised inner child healing, explaining that early belief systems influence adulthood and must be revisited for emotional recovery. She also stressed mindful parenting, the uniqueness of each family, and the need to limit social media influence on children while talking about her parenting book This Book Won’t Teach You Parenting which can be ordered through major bookstores and online platforms.  

Rooted in global research and enriched with real-life stories, this book provides a practical framework for positive parenting within the Indian cultural context. It offers timely, age-appropriate strategies to navigate every stage of your child’s journey. It also guides you in healing from your own childhood wounds and breaking unhelpful patterns through meaningful self-reflection exercises.
