Psychotherapist Riri G. Trivedi and parent educator Anagha Nagpal have co-authored a book that explores Indian parenting through the lens of healing childhood trauma, encouraging self-reflection, and breaking negative patterns. The book also highlights ways parents can model calm, regulated responses to stress for their children. It was featured in The Deccan Chronicle’s ‘Bookmark’ segment, where Neil Pate curates and reviews notable new releases.
The article outlines the book’s key themes and explains how it equips readers with practical tools to navigate the complexities of modern parenting. The editor adds that Trivedi and Nagpal offer a “parenting compass” for Indian parents, addressing challenges such as social media influence, rising screen dependency, and evolving Gen Z relationship dynamics. It also emphasises how the book distinguishes itself by focusing on uniquely Indian parenting concerns, often different from Western contexts, making its guidance more relatable and relevant for this audience, more on which can be found in the 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. Additionally, it includes a toolkit that guides parents in spotting neurodevelopmental disability/dysfunction symptoms in their child early-on and knowing when to seek professional support. This Book can be ordered through major bookstores and online platforms.
