How it Started?

Parisar Asha Cew working in the field of education since 1982 have been receiving constant queries from parents regarding child-related problems After thorough research & observation it was realised that most of the problems were associated with parenting techniques. This led to the misunderstandings and negative labelling of the children. It was also realised that children spent most of their time back at home and for to be mindful at the schools, they need a peaceful and harmonious environment back at home. This led us to the setting up of the Positive Prenting Child Helpline (18005322244) with the support of Capgemini in 2017.
