Choosing the Right Careers for our Children: Vibhavari Deshpande Guides Parents and Teachers at PSS

Vibhavari Deshpande, a well known psychologist and councelor was invited to Pragat Shikshan Sanstha (PSS) to guide the parents and teachers on how they can help children choose the right career. The lecture was organized at PSS’s Kamala Nimbkar Balbhavan on 18 January, 2014.

Vibhavari Deshpande said that it was important to consider children’s interest, inclination as well as their personality while choosing a career for them. She said that parents should not force their ideas and views on their children but encourage and support them for the work they enjoy doing.

She emphasized the importance of an open communication between the adults and children and said that rather than just questioning the children parents can share ideas and experiences with them.

Some of the common problems arising at homes were discussed through role plays enacted by teachers. The two-hour programme ended with a question-answer session and a vote of thanks by Dr. Manjiri Nimbkar, Director of PSS.
