Raising a Village to Raise a Child
The traditional African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child” has been widely quoted when examining the partnerships required during the maturation of our youth. Our “village” has never been as fast-paced, instant gratification centered, and pressure-packed! Today’s children are faced with a myriad of both challenges and opportunities. Navigating parenthood can be a daunting undertaking – partnerships and supports are necessary to prepare our children for tomorrow.
There is great need to form “educators’ and parents’ association” locally. The purpose of it is to offer quality education, culture and spiritual inspiration to children within and outside our ISKCON communities. This seminar gives ideas and tools of how to form small groups of devotees to cater to this need (In case of non-availability of such ‘association’ even an individual parent/ a couple can still use some of these ideas and tools).
