Mother’s Pride is headed by the renowned educationist and sought after parenting expert Mrs. Sudha Gupta. Her vision encompasses not only children but parents, teachers and the society on the whole.
As an educationist, she has single-handedly revolutionized pre-school education. Her thoughts have inspired parents and teachers to look at early childhood education from a new perspective. Her emphasis on overall development of child and not just academics has opened new window for tiny tots to blossom into extraordinary beings. Now this visionary has set her eyes to transform formal education system through Presidium, a proposed senior secondary school.
As an expert on parenting, she has given parenting its due importance and popularity. She conducts seminars and orientations regularly to guide parents about positive parenting. Her mission to transform parenting does not limit to a few thousand parents whose children pass out of various branches of Mother’s Pride but millions of parents across the country through her publications in leading newspapers and magazines.
As a social activist, Sudha Gupta’s concern for the society and country is evident not only in her writing, but takes practical shape in the form of a NGO called Sparsh.
Sparsh has so far reached out to millions of poor, needy, mentally and physically challenged children as well as generous contributions have been made as aid to families of Kargil martyrs and Tsunami victims.
In just a few years, Mrs. Gupta has achieved more than what would ordinarily take a lifetime.

MANY PARENTS employ fear for making their child do something they want the little one to do. Some tell the child to eat his food or else the “Baba” or the“Policeman” will take him away. They even threaten to lock up the child if he does not do as told. Such an approach puts fear in the child's mind and keeps him from achieving his full potential in life.
• Fears, phobias and emot-ional imbalance in adults are traceable to fright-ening childhood experiences.
• Rather than using fear as a convenient tool it is more constructive to reason with the child in a logical way.
• It is healthier and more productive to appreciate and reward the good work of the child for motivating him.
• If the child fails to perform one activity, say cycling, do not dub him as a failure. This can kill his self-confidence and give him a fear of failure.
• Constant criticism and labeling the child as “Good for nothing” generates in the child's mind an enduring fear of rejection. Any criticism should be specific and with the genuine intention of bringing about imp-rovement.
• The child should be taught to face challenges and to try his best, without being afraid of failing.
• Never tell the child that you will leave him and go away. This generates fear of abandonment that can really scar the child's mind.
• Appreciate the child's strengths and help him overcome his short- comings.
The child's mind is like moist clay. Let us stamp this clay with self-confidence, a positive attitude and self esteem, not with fears and phobias.
