“The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice.” – Peggy O'Mara 

Brahm Dutt Blue Bells Public School, under the aegis of Adept – A Program for Enhancing Life Skills, powered by Wellnesswise.in, has taken a meaningful step towards fostering socio-emotional learning among early learners. An interactive session was conducted with parents on Understanding Emotions, which was followed by the Introduction of the Calm Corner across pre-primary classrooms. 

This Parent session was organized on April 23, 2025. The session was led by Dr. Alka Saxena, Deputy Director (Health & Wellness), BBGS, along with the Health & Wellness Resource Centre Team, offering valuable insights and practical strategies to support children's emotional well-being both at school and at home. 

The session was divided into two parts. In the first part Dr. Saxena emphasized how emotions influence both physical and mental well-being. This helped them to develop a deeper understanding of emotions and healthy coping strategies through hands-on activities.  

The second part of the session provided insight into the purpose, benefits, and implementation of the Calm Corner within the classroom.  

This thoughtfully curated space, conceptualized by our visionary leader Dr. Alka Saxena will provide children a quiet moment to relax, reflect, and manage their emotions. 

The session provided parents with the opportunity to observe how the Calm Corner functions, explore the materials and techniques used in school, and understand how a similar environment can be created at home.  

The parents expressed their appreciation for the initiative, and the positive feedback received was truly encouraging. This response highlights the value of collaboration between parents and school, aimed at supporting each child’s emotional development.
